Care-
Lights on with the sunrise and off with the sunset manually.
feed 3 times a day or less depending on behavior and waste.
50% water changes every 9 days using Seachem Prime concentrated water conditioner. (Take 50% out with filters off and aeration added during process. Scrub algae off glass when presenting and leaving algae when not presenting for algae eaters to graze. Add Prime when refilling aquarium)
Seachem Flourish Comprehensive Liquid Fertilizer (as needed depending on plant growth and algae density on glass, leaves, ect.)
Filter care I only do every 5-6 months because of the amount of filtration I have. Rinse filter sponges and internal components in old aquarium water NOT new water. (DO NOT USE UNCONDITIONED TAP WATER! Bacteria friendly old water only.)
Fish and plants must be examined daily for disease, injury or infection. Always look at the health and well being every day. That also includes watching behavior.
