Heya ladies and gents.
I have just purchased a tetra starting tank 54l I have washed it and the gravel and decorating throughly, no soap!
Set it up and have the light on and the filter running.
I've added the correct amount of aqua safe and added a small pinch of food to get the cycle started.
This was the best set up I could afford atm as I had a larger tank but the sell fell through.
I'm happy to save for a larger tank over the next year or so and upgrade all the components.
Until then what is the best way to get this tank ready? Any steps I've missed?
I'm not planning on buying any fish at the moment as I'm deathly scared of killing them by mistake and my kid getting upset! So I'm still open to which type to buy.
Any recommendations on fish suitable for this tank?
Also best and cheapest, (longterm) water testing kits?
Thank you! I'm totally open to any and all advice.
