Looking back, here is a list of tips that I wish I had known when we set out on our apartment hunting journey. Hit the ground running. While the internet is an easy way to search for housing on your own time, the internet is not always the most up to date way to find a rental flat in London. To get the best selection, you have to hit the ground running and set about looking at every real estate office window to see what they have to offer.
Place the fish in a bowl or bag filled with the quarantine tank water. Let the bag or bowl sit on the surface of the main tank water for 15-20 minutes. Then, use a clean cup to scoop some of the main tank water into the bag or bowl. There should be 50% main tank water and 50% quarantine tank water in the bag.
But if the tank is planted then see how much and how long your plants species require. Most plants need 8-10 hours of appropriate levels of light AND complete darkness periods. Mimic the rise and set of sun as much as possible. But limit the light to less time on if fish are stressed or algae grows. Too much light will encourage the algae to grow on and kill the plants as well as the glass which prevents viewing of your fish. Never leave the lights on 24 hours at a time.... unless you want to see how thick you can grow algae!!
