We are planning to change the set up of our tank this weekend. We have a few questions about how best to do this.
1. We're getting rid of the nasty pebbles and replacing this with sand. Play sand is the best thing right?
2. We plan to get some new fake plants. Should we keep the old plants that are in at the min to help with cycling?
3. What kinds of things can we use as hides? Decent sized ones (ones that look like rocks or similar) from pet shops where we live are real expensive.
4. What should we do with our axie while we do this and how soon can we put her back in the tank?
5. Our tank is 30x12x12 inches and holds about 18.5 uk gallons (if my math is right). We have a Fluval 1plus filter. Is the filter adequate for the size of tank? And, should we be using a spray bar?
We're sure there's other things that we need to ask but cant think at the minute (toddler running round like a lunatic doesn't help with brain function lol)
Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!!
