Hi all,
I am currently in the process of rescaping my 260L tank. Have syphoned off 50% of the water into various buckets etc and stored in my garage last night.
Have cleaned the tank and added Tropica Plant Substrate along with 25kg of Limpopo Sand. Also scaping with rocks tonight, along with adding dwarf hairgrass and some plants previously used.
My question is - should I reuse the water I have stored overnight, or add clean water - the filter has been established with media for over 2 years now so would clean water cycle fairly quick to get the fish back in there in a week or so ?
Would my syphoned tank water be ok to use or would all the beneficial bacteria have died off overnight ?
The other thing is that I had treated the previous water for cyanobacteria which cleared up last week.
Thanks in advance.
