I got a used 55 gal tank and it was taken down the day I picked it up. I took the UGF out when I got the tank home and started to fill it. The water was so filthy, I had to drain the tank and refill. I’m not sure how many times I […]

Thanks everyone for your help! I am going to go forth and try it.
