So I got a five gal kit for my boys to split...but I can't figure out the filter first time.
its Aqua-tech power filter, model 5-15
The directions are literally this:
Which I thought I did right, but all it does when plugged in is make a noise like its trying to work, but its definitely not doing anything waterwise....what did I miss?
Its been a while for me so I hope someone can help, but if I remember correctly you let it run for 24 hours to make sure that it works properly and that the tank has no leaks. It will also remove some of the dust/debris particles from all the new gravel and new stuff. Waiting 24 hours also allows chlorine in the water to evaporate if you don't use a dechlorinator.
I used dechlorinator and washed all the gravel and what not so they should be fine? I'd hate to leave them overnight in those cups when they can be playing in the 5gal =D
ok Peaches is on the side with the filter, in his cup...haha he keeps swimming round in circles trying to get bubbles! Bet he'll love being free in it!
"you can get a bag full of pillow stuffing that has zero additives and is 100% pure polyester and break off a big piece to put in where your media goes...you can even have some hanging out into the water surface to break the splash and current even more..."
lol that's a unique idea...can't pull it off tonight though, guess it stays off... Here's a pic of the boys checking out their new home :-D after the filter went off...lol
I feel like its lacking in decoration, but I couldn't really find anything I liked for it, so for now they get the plants from the kit lol
wow, I like the soda bottle idea, I might have one to try it now too lol
Thanks...I tried to make it look good with what I had, I definitely like the white and black on different sides, and I might keep the orange plant, but I feel the black side is just lacking...
I like the orange plant too, I will probably keep it. I half want to find some ornaments or something for them to hide in though. All of my females like them, I'm sure they would too.
