On Sunday, I overhauled my aquarium.
1. Removed the fluroescent lamps off
2. Removed glass lids, and cleaned 'em
3. Filled a 25-gallon container with tank water
4. Removed all my fish to the above container
5. Drained 100% tank water
6. Removed all rocks and contents of tank
7. Removed all "silica" sand using a ShopVac style vacuum
8. Took background / sidegrounds off tank
9. Got a friend to help me move my 150-gallon to clean back glass
10. Replaced background / sidegrounds to clean glass
11. Added 40 lbs. of "Tahitian Moon" (black) sand
12. Filled 100% tank water
13. Replaced rocks and contents of tanks
14. Replaced glass lids
15. Added fish back
All-in-all, this was a 6-hour job start-to-finish. However, the tank looks better than any setup I've had goin' before. Will post pictures soon.
