I have a 28G nanocube that has been stagnant with literally no life in it for about a year and a half. The tank crashed when I was neglecting it, fish died and I lost interest in the hobby. Over that year and a half I continued to top the tank off with tap water (bad, I know) with the intent of starting it up again.
Well, that time has come and I'm ready to give this another shot. I have about 15lbs of live rock and a 3" sandbed. I did a 10G water change with RO/DI mixed with Salinity, and added a bottle of Instant Ocean Smart Start to get the tank going. New Chemipure elite with purigen and filter floss. Still no CUC or fish in the tank.
I've had a pretty nasty start and have a ton of GHA on the live rock and on the back of the tank. I just purchased the Two Little Fishies 150 Reactor and 150 grams of two little fishies phosban, but I'm not sure how much GFO to use once that arrives. Suggestions? Also, I plan on eventually getting rid of the chemi-pure elite and replacing that with just carbon.
Thanks!
