Aquarium Tips
A couple of weeks ago, I purchased three aquariums. Why three? I always biggie size things and this is no different. Anyway, back to the aquarium tips. I have owned aquariums in the past, but forgot they really need proper care or they turn to crap.
There are MANY tips out there, so I will keep it short and to the point:
- Do not get an aquarium if you are not committed to the maintenance
- Do not over feed, because it clouds the tank and stinks like !@#$%^&
- Replace the water filters as recommended or at least wash them out
- Replace half (1/2) the water and clean the rocks at least once a month
- Ensure that new fish are compatible with your existing community
- Do not overstock aka "stock for the size and capacity of aquarium"
- Do not be a cheapo, buy the proper heaters, filters, etc as needed
Regarding the last tip, do it right and enjoy the aquarium and fish.

haha, you’re crazy. I can’t believe you up and bought three aquariums. Are any of them salt tanks? I have a rock crab in my salt tank that’s slowly eating my inhabitant one by one. He’s nicknamed Murder Crab. This weekend I’m going to try and pull all the rocks out to find him. The real trick is trying not to disturb the current inhabitants with all the rock moving. I like to try and leave things alone as much as possible.
