TowMater88 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I’m trying to reclaim my 40 gallon planted aquarium that my soon to be ex wife messed up big time, by leaving blinds and curtains open and flooding the room with sunlight. So now that It looks like I’m getting divorced my mom and I are trying to get the algae all cleaned up and get it replanted and a thriving self contained ecosystem again. I’m gravel vacuuming and and scrubbing algae all the time while my algae eating help give us a hand in keeping things clean. Any ideas of what to do with our already established community aquarium would be so helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
