Aquarium Advice Newbie
My boyfriend has a 55 galloon freshwater tank that has been up and running for over a year. He has a Fluvall filter (thats all he can tell me about it!), 4 angelfish, 2 neon glowfish, 5 small plants (they came in a bag full of African swords, he's not sure what they are) and very, very fine black sand. I just moved here, and its a mess! The plants are dying, fish have died, he doesn't test the water, etc. We have tried cleaning the sand with a vacuum pump, but it just sucks it up since it is so fine. I don't want to overstep my boundries too much, but I have to do something. Where should I start?
