Simple set up guide for tropical fish tanks
How to set up those tropical fish tanks? Im gonna provide u simple guide.
Shopping list:
- tank
- special mat to put under the tank ( so it won't move)
- lightning equipped cover
- filter
- sand or gravel
- some plants for start
optional:
- Heater (if u want to keep fishes or plants that like higher temps)
- Solid case designed for aquariums (if u don't have something solid to place it already)
- decorations like : rocks, caves, stones, roots
Fish tank set up guide:
Put the mat on a solid case then u can place the tank on it. Put the cover on top.
Make sure that u place a tank far from window, so that sun light wont operate on it.
Install the filter as it says in the manual double check if you done it right.
Then start placing gravel. On the back of your tank there should be 24-28 inches (8-9cm) and then sliding towards the front where you should have something like 16 inches ( 4cm) of it.
You may want to put some decorations inside like stones, roots or caves but don't be silly buying any divers or boats.
Then pour gently water till you reach like 9-15 inches (3-5cm) so you can start planting.
Then you can fill the rest of the tank with water, launch your filter + lightning.
You should now wait for about 2-3 weeks in this time your new aquarium will maturate, after that you can go on and buy fish.
