How to Setup a fish tank By Fantastic Furries

Adding and choosing the gravel

q It can be any colour and any consistency, you can also use sand.qq Make sure you clean it or it will cloud the water.qq Fill your tank with 1-2 inches of gravel or sand.

Adding water

Adding a filter

qTake your filter and rinse the sponge inside.qThen position the filter inside the tank with the suckers on the back (if your

filter has them) or just position it normally.qPlug your filter in and it will stutter for a minute and then start spouting

water. If your filter is underwater you can tell if it`s running by the air bubbles spouting out with the water.

Adding and choosing ornaments and bubble blowersqChoose an ornament or bubble blower that is the right size for your tank.qIt should not overcrowd the tank as fish like to swim in open places and

hide aswell.qIt is better to have small ornaments as it makes the tank look morespacious.
