Karma Party ROUND 2!!!!

Dont buy a glass tank with a crack in the front panel and say "eh, nothing is gona happen..." TRUE STORY! (not me of course )

 

To cycle the tank faster, when starting a new aquarium,you can add a small piece raw shrimp, let it decompose then it will add nitrites.

 

Always have way more room in your sump/fuge than you think will be necessary for a power outage. Without the return, your fuge/sump will recieve water from just about everywhere: overflow, pipes, pump etc... if it doesn't seem like you would have a problem, test it out to make sure ( have a bucket or garbage can near by). It is better to test than to lose gallons of water to your floor.

 

Test Kits: use the test tubes to test the water of your fish tank, dont use the tank to perform the test.............LOL true story[ not me]

 

dont buy a pistol shrimp and watchman goby when u have a wrasse in ur tank...true story, yesterday

 

After cleaning your tank, always check the floor for fish that have jumped ship. I lost 2 long nose hawk fish this way!

 

When leaving for a vacation, make arrangements for a friend to feed your fish. Your fish will not survive your vacation regardless, but you'll feel better about it and you will have someone to blame.

 

dont buy those little vacation pyrimid feeders...they just dont work...
