Is your water supply chlorinated? Do you treat it with anything or
is the dilution sufficient to protect the fish? I'd be interested to
see your system in more detail. I've been putting this off for
years, and am still, since we are still renting. I'm trying to keep
things as simple and spare as possible, since I've set up, torn down,
and moved my tanks about five times in the past 10 years. I'm afraid
to even use gravel now since our last move and simultaneous back
surgery. I'm using sponge filters mostly. Can't get much lighter
than that! Anyone have a good nomadic tribesman's tank system?
Plans for a fish yurt? Collapsible tanks? Collapsible fish?
Collapsible wife? :)
