So I thought I'd never post on here (not being rude) as Im a dedicated salty...
But..
Have just sold a 3 foot (40gal) tank to my next door neighbour. He currently has about 5 goldfish in a large bowl.. (He's about 50y.o.) or so.. So Im trying to help him out with this setup. And also learn abit about the world of FW also.
So with keeping in mind he wants to keep the goldfish..
What does he need to purchase..
Ive got
Tank
3-Stage HOB Filtration (nothing in it though, what needs to be put in it?)
x3 30W Lights (x1 Actinic, x2 6000K)
The tank is empty other than that..
What type of substrate?
Airstones?
Filter Media?
Anything else?
Now if im correct FW is coldwater, ponds, brackish, and tropical.
Goldfish are coldwater? What other fish can accompany them..?
There will be no plans for plants.. Just some cheesy decor.. fake plants..logs etc..
Oh yeah I'll need to dechlorify the water?
Thanks guys,
Im totally lost..
