I just got a free 55g tank and want to do a dirted tank any advice?
Moisten the dirt before capping it, wait at least a month before adding fish. Even if the tank is cycled, the organics will still be breaking down and will cause fish death. I just ran into this this with my new dirted tank.
I'm getting ready to start my tank but I was going to do a test run in my basement to make sure there are no leaks and mark my water levels. How do I fill the tank and sump to the right levels to make sure it will not over fill if the power goes out
