aumontmatthew Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Wow, this thing is awesome. Haven't even turned on the lights or put water in yet but I can't wait. I am going to take my time with this and just need some insight. When I took the ballast from the bottom of the tank, there is some glue residue from the tape that was holding it in place? How do I remove this and not risk having water contaminents when I add my water? Also, Do you suggest removing all of the bioballs, ceramic rings, and carbon? This is what I have been reading. How do I attach my overflow box made out of acrylic to the plastic and glass in the corner with the inflow? And do I leave all of the sponges in there? Thanks, I know there are posts simlar to this one but I cannot find the exact answers I need. Matt Link to comment
aaronfmd Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I used alcohol (rubbing) to remove the tape residue. It evaporates quickly, so I dont' think it left any residue. I also rinsed everything with tap water then distilled water. Tank is doing fine with no probs so far (knock on wood). I removed everything to cycle, will put some other carbon in soon. cycle is just finishing. don't know about the other stuff. Link to comment
Nanobanano Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 aumon- Read the directions that came with your tank. It will tell you what to take out of a reef tank. I only keep the sponges in. Link to comment
