I acquired a used 55 gallon tank...and I have questions to get it up and running. also, this is going to be a cichlid tank and would love suggestions on which cichlids to buy. I already have a yellow lab and 2 others which I have sadly forgotten there kind.
q 1: how do you correctly clean a used tank?
q 2: can u use a used filter or best to buy new?
q 3: best filtratiion?
q 4: what is a python and how does it work? I keep hearing for bigger tanks its best to have one but, im unsure why.
q 5: do you have to fill a tank fully to know if it leaks? if so how long? and how do you empty such a big amount of water?
ok, well thats all I can think of now... I appreciate the help!
