Hello Everyone,
It's been ages since I've been here, long story Short, I went across the Country to work for the summer and I left my tank at home.
It's had very little done to it, algae scraped, fish fed once every couple of days, and thats it.
It's a 10g FOWLR, It has about 15lbs of Live rock in it. I have 1 damsel and a few brown button polyps.
My question is I know the tank will be in very bad shape when I get home, I know the fish is still alive so I need to bring the tank back up to good standards. whats the best way to go about fixing it?
I assume the tank has a large amount of algae growth, apatasia comletely covering all live rock and surfaces and what else Im not sure.
Can I create a new 10g tank with substrate and water and move the fish into that while working on the old tank?
I really have no Idea where I would start and Im kinda lost, has anyone else had an experience with this? or know what the best option would be?
Thanks for any help, it's Very Appreciated.
I apologize for the poor fish keeping habit, I will make sure the next time I leave proper maitnence is done.
