Hi guys, I am running the same tank, filter, substrate & even some of the plants for over 7 years.
I have changed the scape a few times & even moved the tank from one side of the room to another but the basic set up is still going strong!
However after reading through a few of your post & seeing some of your tanks, I am considering a fresh look.
My tank seems pretty stable with very little algae problems, I was wondering if I really would benefit from a completely new substrate or should I just remove the plants & perhaps keep my system running while replanting?
The tanks runs a sump so I can keep the filter running as a separate unit anyway.
