    how to clean a tank?

    I tend not to disturb as much as possible, but keep things as clean as possible, so if I'm cleaning glass of the tank do it in the same water or alongside a pwc. I have no artificial decor but if I did I would leave this be as it would have a good surface area (fake plants, caves etc). If it is...

    Newbie question on filtration and other stuff

    Newbie question on filtration and other stuff

    I have internal filters that have sponges in them, (I also add filter wool at the top to add that extra filtration) when cleaning I generally swish them about in some tank water and replace. In the past have also gone for the more deep cleaning, which was to give them a good squeeze and...

I'm new to this but I probably know more! I thought online may be an alternative and wanted to get a feel for it. Thank...

    I've been pricing up cardinals and they are not cheap, might go with neons. Which is the best way to introduce them? All at once or in smaller amounts? My tank was going to be a fishless cycle but I was given two fantails which increased my workload but help the cycle along. They have been...
