Hi all
New to this forum, found it while trying to find an answer to my question, there seems to be a wealth of info here so thought id ask.
I have a new fluval edge tank which we brought for my daughter for xmas, i started to set up the tank yesterday. Washed all the gravel throughly, added it to tank, added the heater, thermometer (the edge on on the outside of the tank), and1 plastic plant (which my daughter wanted), not sure if we are going to have real plants yet.
I was told I need to have it set up for 2 days before fish can be added, so...
I added the water to half way, added the chemicals (at the dosages stated in the box). Then added the rest of the water. Initially it was very cloudy but this morning that had all cleared out and it was very clear, however there are a lot of small bubbles in the tank. I cleaned the glass with the edge algae magnet and moved all the bubbles to the opening however they keep coming back, and there are bubbles over the heater and plant.
I've seen several examples of the tank on youtube and I cannot see a single bubble on any of them.
How high should the water be in the opening, it looks like the filter is creating more bubbles when the water hits the water in the tank. Is my water level too low? I've attached an image of this.
Can anyone offer any advice regarding this.
Thanks.
