So I have a 60 gallon low tank I used to use for saltwater but ever since I moved I didn't want to go thru the headache again of saltwater so originally I wanted to get like 2 or 3 goldfish to put into the tank and call it a day... something easy and fun to enjoy and cost efficient.
However when I went to my local petco someone disassembled their pond and donated all these goldfish. I took 2 at first but as the weeks progressed nobody was buying these huge goldfish and they were getting worse and worse. Not moving, super lethargic and not eating. I took pity on them and ended up getting all of them within a 3 week time frame
Every week I would get some of them.
I know my tank isn't a pond and is definitely overcrowded but I would like some tips on my filtration to help combat the large Bioload so far My tank is
Barebottom with
2 penguin 350 HOB
1 Fx6 Cansiter
And a aquatop fz9 uv cansiter filter
I have a pothos plant in the back of one of my HOB plan on getting more also have lava rock in my HOB to help with the biological filtration as well as in the cansiters.
