Thanks INGRID!
1-added PP to tank and let it run for about 4 hours
2-mixed small amount bleach and lot of water to clean tank
3-rinsed out tank 5 times (took around 2 hours to do this)
4-used wire brush and q-tips to glean "gunk" off filters, heater, etc
5-tank and equipment sittin in sun today
Bake my air diffusers as well? Is there any thing special necessary
in cleaning them? Also, after I have tank running for 48 hours and
there is no funky aroma, should I do another 100% water change before
re-cycling tank again?
Grateful Disco
PS: I have these stand-alone silicate air-diffusers and have had a
dickens of a time finding more online. Anybody know of a place I
could find a couple more?
