I just had my 120 moved by an aquarium service. I had them add dirt before setting it up. I asked him when I could do a water change. He said in over a month! Mainly because the move included about a 75% water change and he wanted to preserve as much bacteria as possible so I won't have to reestablish the tank. My trouble is the dirt! Will tannins go away without a water change? And will I be over run with algae?

So far my plan is to leave the tank set up here, while i set up… Continue
