Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hello folks.
After losing 4 comets a couple of months ago I almost lost hope to this wonderful hobby, but I decided to investigate, study and give it another chance.
I just moved in from a 20G so I'm a bit concerned about going into another cycle, so I took my old filters and put some of the media on my canister filter to help speed up the process.
So my equipment goes as follows:
-50G tank that I built myself
-Fluval 306 Canister Filter
-Tetra EX70 (Crappy BTW)
-Elite cheap filter
-Really fine grain aquarium substrate, almost like sand
Right now I just have an Angel fish, a Swordtail and a Koi, I know that goldfish aren't compatible with tropical fish but somebody who;s getting rid of it's aquarium gave it to me so I'm in the process of setting up a new tank meant for goldfish.
So far everybody looks happy so I hope that this time I'm getting things done the right way.
I'm keeping the crappy filters for a month, then I will just leave the fluval.
Ok, so let's see some pictures then, you can see them uploaded.
My light bar has a red tube, I wonder what it is used for?
Anyways, this is my extremely amateur build, I'm all open to advice from you the experts.
Kind regards.
