Re-setting Up 150 Gallon - How to Clean it?

+1 id use boiling water. youcan scoop out all the gravel either boil it or through it out, and clean off the walls real well and buiy new filter inserts. but i dont think you need to do that! :)

i would never use bleach, if youi miss just a little bit it could spell disaster to all your fish, just use boiling water.
 
I use boiling water or a 1-3 mix of beach that has been conditioned with chlorine remover.

Also when using boiling water make sure the tank is not freezing cold as you pour the watter in or it might crack it :thud:
 
Lighting for tank

I have a question for you I have a 46 Gallon Bowfront tank which I am trying to heavily plant. I have Red Sea Turbo Co2 System wihich is mostly like a DIY System. Im planning to put swords, vals, Cobomba, Anarchis, and other South American plants. I have Flourite substrate and a 36 Inch Freshwater Coralife Aqualight. Will the 96 wats the light gives be enough for the plants. From the top of the gravel to the top of the water its 16 and a half inchs. Is the light good enough for the plants I want. The light gives about 2 watts per gallon.
