The tank was clear in 2 days, but I didn't put anything but cycle; then stress enzyme, for 1 month. I don't rem. how long the rock has been, there. I posted some thing about it

. I put 3 damsels in it for at least 4-5 weeks. I got all but 1 out. My husband and son wanted the others in the big tank.
I wash the sponges in old water from small changes every 3 days. I had 1 in 4 tanks and 2 in 1. that 6sponges

.
I'm gratefull to get to shut down 2 tanks Then add in filters, which where 2 in 4 tanks and 1 in 1, and impellers, intakes an all. You get the point things are easier now.
We had to have that blenny. we went in for a snail and came out with both. they charged us 29.99 but he is that neat, so we didn't care.
