I’ve finally got the sand rinsed and ready to be placed in tank. Above tank basking area is made. All plexiglass and that was hard to find since the stores bought plexiglass with everything going on with the COVID-19. Just waiting on WeldOn to arrive so I can glue it. In the meantime, the filter is set up with the optional media. I finally got the canister ready to go with hoses attached. Hopefully I did it right. First time with a canister. I’m filling it up today.
Here are my questions:
How long should I wait before adding turtles?
When I replace the floss with Eheim Substrat Pro, do I place the white fine pad (polishing pad I think) on top of the coarse pad? In this order: Eheim Mech, coarse sponge, fine sponge, carbon/Purigen, Eheim Substrat Pro.
Is Purigen best to buy the premade bags compared to loose? I have a 50 gallon set up.
