JKB, I'm removing solids with a big siphon I've rigged up. I'm planning on removing about ten gallons/day from the bottom of the tank with the siphon as I target visible solids--then I replace with ten gallons from the pre-treatment tank, which has about 400 gallons in reserve. This is filled with our rural water--which I just found out has no chlorine or chloramine according to the website.
I'm still looking to figure out how much salt to add. Seems like a great idea, but also a great opportunity to screw things up.
Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
