Breaking down a DSB to go BB


Well I have a nano DBS 10 gallon and now I'm going to try to go BB. I have a Skillter filter with a skimmer and a 64 watt light. I will start the break down on Monday because I work all weekend.

There is no fish just LR with a few shrooms. I have no idea what I'm going to put in it as of now but I wanted to go BB on this one.

Here is a current picture before the break down.

Are you sure there are no fish in there? Sure looks like a gold stripe marron clown swimming around your tank. Better kick him out if he aint payin rent!

Opps, sorry man!

So do you want to cater to corals or fish in this tank?

I would definately have a QT tank BB in case you have to medicate + your DSB bacteria population will rise and fall a great deal (fish in and out) which is not a good idea.
