Just started on a new expedition after my youngets boy saw the shark swimming at a aquarium.
I have got a 2ft tank. An overhead pump fitted to a filter comprised of carbon+volcanic rocks in bag and wool pad type filter. Had the tank running fror about 3 days. Added 4 Barbs (really energetic)
Question:
1. Is it good to buy stuff(bottled) to speed up bacteria growth ? Understand that you need to introduce Ammonia to start the process to provide nitrites & nitrates.
2. If I am going to set up Fresh water aquarium with plants please recommend a pump and filter set which is proven.
Thanks alot.
