Got the under gravel filter today and I have just added the gravel that arrived yesterday. Unfortunately I really underestimated the amount of gravel needed so have had to order 4 more bags of 5kgs 🤦♂️
The rest of the gravel will arrive tomorrow so I will wash it and put it in the aquarium as soon as it arrives tomorrow so that I can get it set up to move the fish into it tomorrow night or Sunday Nd get the rest of the tanks moved around and sorted Sunday.
This will mean that Monday morning I can get to IKEA to buy a proper bed and mattress and get my bedroom sorted as a bedroom and stop sleeping in the lounge as I have been for the past month or so.
I think the tank is going to look good once it is done.
The gravel is darker than I was planning but I kind of like it and it will hopefully make the minnows stand out a bit as they are very light colours so are hard to see.
Apparently with an under gravel filter it is better to have too much gravel rather than too little so I think I have enough now. I have already cut down the tubes so it is just a matter of getting longer air tubes tomorrow so that I can hide them behind the top strip as at the moment they are pretty ugly.
I am going to have to use the splitter as well as I have to run 4 airlines off of a 2 outlet pump!
