hello - I have another question.
I went to my mom and pop LPS today and talked to one of the guys that keeps the fish. He said that my UGF bottom piece was fine and then told me what I needed to buy to get it all put together- pump, tubing, charcol holder, charcol and tubes. I went home and set this all up and then spread my brownish gravel over the top - 2- 25 lb bags.
Is this enough gravel with a UGF?
Also is there somewhere I can see a picture of a tank with a UGF so I can tell that I have set it up upside down or something?
I then put in two of our goldfish that we in our pond and they seem fine. This will be fine for now because it will give me time to pick put a heater that I like. But I still dont have a filter question. One worker said that since I only have 2 goldfish in a 75 gal tank I didnt need a filter right away but the other one wasnt so sure. The guy helping me said that I could just wait until it got really dirty and then clean the gravel really well. What does every think about this?? He did say that if I brought in my water once a week he would test it for me. I also have not put in any chemicals to reduce the chlorine content because I was regularly filling my pond with hose water and for now this cant be much different.
Also, what filter is recommended for a tank my size? I would like something that does well, is easy to clean and really quiet.
Thanks,
Stacie
