Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello all, I have a 20 gal saltwater and kept fish alive no problem. My parents had a spare 30 gal tank that the previously had freshwater fish in. I decided to set it up. they had something that filtered from the bottom, i layed the plastic filter things down then poured rocks (blue looking pebles which were in tank before) I filled up the tank and added tap conditionar. I haven't placed the air pump on yet (30-80gal ) I'm waiting to replace the carbon looking things that attach to the bottom plastic under gravel thing. Right now i do have a hang on the back bio wheel filter running to kinda clean the water. Now my question is what do i do from here. I'm planning on buying the carbon (i'm assuming) things, then i'll run the air pump to it and get that going, should i leave the hang on the back filter and if so for how long it is only going to be used on this tank. I havn't put the top of the tank on yet thinking maybe it will help gases exchange could be wrong though. what am i looking for now, and what steps should i take. thanks for the help
