matts125 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Great looking tank but why not scrape the coraline? JC Thanks and lol I know right! So I have a rule with my tank. I'm a busy guy and have a family so I have a very strict 1 hour per week maintenance schedule. That includes water changes. My hands are almost never in this tank. "Never". Besides for trimming when it is due to keep a civil war from happening lol. Matt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
