Will be starting my 2 x 1 x 1 tank(some China brand) next week.
Those type enclosed with the cover with filter and lights to rear cardinals and planting simple and hardy plants.
First attempt to planting so will need recommendations.
So there will be quite alot of questions from me, so thnx in advance.
1) If i will be sitting the water for 1 week do i still need add the chemcial for chlormine.(if needed may i know wat to buy?)
My understanding is i setup tank with the plants, Sit the water for a week then intro some fishes abit by bit. (so where do the shrimps come in?)
you will still need anti-chlo as letting the water stay in the tank does not remove the chlorine.
2) Are those built in filter useful and effective ? Wat types of additonal material is recommended for the filter (only given some wool filter)
filter that stays in the tank can be used but the downside is that, whatever waste or leftovers it collects, will still be in the same tank same water therefore you have to clean the filter very very frequently. Plus you have to change the water every few days too.
4) Was given some white gravel/stones which was not recommended for tetras so what should i get instead. (Am i right that i dun need substrate?)
5) What plants are recommended? (Do i plant alot first or increase bit by bit)
6) Is the air pump + Air Stone needed?
7) Anything else i should get? (SeaChem? , PH test kit...??)
not an expert in plants, sorry. =)
Cos i will be going C328 get abit of the equipts + palnts first, then make another trip for the fishes and plants..
Thank in Advance and sorry for this messy and lengthy post.
