I have a 29g with 6 neons and 2 blue rams. In about a year, I may have to relocate, but can't bring the tank with me (starting fresh when I get there). I have 1.5wpg in my tank, and the substrate is getting changed over to eco-complete in a week. has anyone ever tried making some type of section within the tank with a fine mesh/plexi, and a powerhead or the filter pumping water through it? I want to make my tank as maintenance free as possible.
I was thinking of doing a 6" wide x 12" (tank width) x 3" deep box area, and filling it with java moss or something that will grow fast and suck up Nitrates. Appearance isn't a huge factor, it just needs to work. I was thinking of putting this in the top right corner of the tank, then having the AC110 flow partially onto it. This would hopefully contain it, but do you think it would make much of a dent in nitrates? it's approx 1 gallon worth of live crap that grows like a weed, in addition to whatever is established by then in the rest of the tank.
