Convert a salt water aquarium in a fresh water

How I converted my salt water aquarium

For 3 years I was the proud owner of a reef Aquarium. I placed my 120 liter Aquarium corals and fish. This eco-system was the central point of entry in my living room. My family and everyone could sit and watch the fish swim around the rocks and coral in a never-ending quest for food. All this serene Joy however was at cost monetarily both in the laboratory. Daily testing water conditions, test kits, chemicals, R O are the water chiller, a U V sterilizers only some of the items needed and tasks performed.

After lasting up to keep costs and the cost of everything else to do with a reef Aquarium had, crashed my reef. The parameter went crazy and I didn't know how to bring back in the line. All I only tried effort worsens. If everything in the Aquarium, who died I decided against the aquarium with sea-water animals increase measures. I converted this Aquarium to freshwater Habitat.

I started by draining of salt water. I decided to use the sand and rocks of the reef as decoration in the fresh water. I knew that the parasites that grow in the live rock and sand bed disintegrate and at the end of every living thing that I am with you in would put would kill. In this sense I doctoring filled the aquarium with municipal water directly from the tube with none. I can to keep the water in the tank for a month. At that time I drained the water and the sand as water stirred drained. This process of filling, repeated I wait a month then the Aquarium drainage, two more months.

I original stones with R O water and activates the lights and pumps. I cannot run the Aquarium for two weeks in this way. I placed to put the plants and other decorations without any fish in the Aquarium I would place there to stress on each fish. Bought at the end of two weeks I some inexpensive fish serve as a test to prove the livability of this conversion.

This happened seven months ago, and I'm happy to say that all five of my test fish are still alive and healthy and share community Aquarium discus fish, clown Cobitidae, Ghost shrimp, Corey cat fish and freshwater mussels.
