Aquarium Advice Newbie
I currently have a tank that contains regular, boring, plain old tropical fish. I always had this dream of making a cold water tank and putting trout in it. Sort of like a North American nature scene (water fall, stream and a small small pond at the bottom).
I have many questions and I can't seem to find any information about it on the internet.
I heard that cooling a tank with dry ice is the best way to do it. But how do you do that? I know you can't put dry ice into the water. Do you duct tape it to the glass? How often does it have to be changed?
If I use regular ice to cool the tank, do I have to use ice that has been filtered?
How do I keep it from getting too cold?
Where can I get real small trout? I would like a species the call "Cut Throats" (Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi Lahontan Cutthroat Trout ). I caught some when fishing in Montana last year.
How would one construct a small stream? I want the stream to connect a waterfall with a large tank. It would be about 20ft. long.
How do you filter a stream?
Help!!!!
