Now I'm probably going to get slated for this but I have been neglecting my 200l tank slightly over the past few months. My normal routine was 40% water change every week with a full glass clean and gravel vac once a fortnight.
Since starting a new job a few months ago I just haven't had the time to care for it as much and I'd say it hasn't had a gravel vac for about 6 weeks now
. Its been topped up with water but only whats evaporated out.
The thing is . . . I haven't lost a single fish since I started the new job (except the one that got herself stuck in a piece of bog wood :-? ) Before I was loosing loads for no apparent reason. The tank has been setup 2 years now and in that time I have had 2 failed attempts at introducing cory (lost 15 in total - have 1 left!) I've lost molly, neons, hybrid guppy, otto . . . . all sorts! the only original member of my tank is a very impressive red tailed shark.
Now that I'm starting to have a little more time to myself I really need to pick up the maintenance again but I dont know how to go about it, I dont want to go back to what I was doing before because it obviously wasnt good!!
Any ideas?!
Thanks all!
