Got a plan?
You finally bought that new aquarium. Before buying the fish and adding water, take a moment to slow down. Come up with a plan. Make sure you position your tank near a wall outlet, so you can easily plug in your accessories. Figure out where you are going to put the filter, heater, air pumps and any other accessory you bought. Then try to get a lay out at least in your head of where you want to position everything in the tank. Try to look for any potential problems before you set-up. It’s much easier to fix these problems now. Before you get half way through, and notice you don’t have enough hose to place that air stone where you wanted it.
