Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi
I am a toatl novice at fish keeping and a few months ago I was given a marine tank, to be honest I don't know what I'm doing with it.
Its about 25L and containes living rocks a clown fish, another fish I haven't been able to identife a snail and what I think are bristleworms.
It has a trickle filtatration system.
The guy that gave it to me said I that what I needed to do to maintain it was
-remove the black algue as it builds up
-top up with warm tap water as it evaporates off
-check the density
-rinse the sponge in the filter if it gets to cloged up
Having read up on marine tanks I am not convinced about his advise.
He also said that he had kept hermit crabs and shrimp in the tank but that they had died
what should I do next
