Canister filters are best for large tanks. Internal filters suit small tanks. Always size your filter for at least 5x your tank volume per hour.
Use 3–5 watts per litre. For a 100L tank, use a 300–500W heater. Always use a separate thermometer to verify temperature.
Planted tanks need 30–50 lumens per litre. LED lights with a 5000–7000K colour temperature work best for plant growth.
Good aeration is crucial for oxygen levels. Use air stones and check valves. Size your pump for the tank volume and depth.
Every aquarist needs: a gravel vacuum, algae scraper, fish net, scissors (for plants), tweezers and a bucket dedicated to the tank.
Test for pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and hardness. Test weekly for new tanks, monthly for established ones.
