Stingray tank overhaul maintenance
Today is a tiring day.
Earlier, i cleaned the Cichlid tank because the water pump was not drawing enough water due to mechanical filtration clogging up.
At night, the same problem occurs for the stingray tank.... guess must be the colour spronge causing most of the problem.
However, when i took all the jap mat and black spronge for cleaning. The worst are the jap mat. They are all almost full of poo or waste...
It took me like 2 hours to clean the jap mat and black spronge and putting them back... Damned tiring...
According to the photos taken dated around September 2012, the stingray tank started running first around September 2012, and the Cichlid tank could be around October or November 2012.
It is quite weird consider that ray bioload is quite high, yet the Cichlid tank is the one that needs maintenance earlier than the ray tank consider that the ray tank starts commission first.
So, its like ray tank started running on Sep'12 and maintenace done on 31 March 2013.
And Cichlids tank started running on November'12 (based on my uploaded youtube) and maintenance done on 31 March 2013.
So it means Cichlid tank needs overhaul maintenance every 5 months and Ray tank needs overhaul maintenance every 7 months. I guess that is the trade off for doing monthly water changed routine.
Ok, time for bed... it is a long day.
