LIVE PLANTS 

Once the water conditions and pH levels have 
been corrected, live plants can be added to the 
aquarium. Remember to empty some water 
from the aquarium before adding anything to it.

REMEMBER LIVE PLANTS NEED TO BE 
FED!

 An aquarium safe plant fertiliser should 

be used. 

LIGHTING

No more than 8 hours of light each day and 
definitely no natural light. Longer light times will 
accelerate algae growth in the aquarium and 
has no benefit to plants or fish.

every twelve months based on the light being 
on 8 hours a day as the spectrum of light 
changes over time and may cause excess 
algae growth.

FILTER MEDIA 

Biological Filtration (Ceramic Noodles) 

Biological filtration is a process where toxic 
nitrogen compounds such as ammonia and 
nitrite (Fish waste) are removed from the 
system via a breakdown process carried out by 
nitrifying bacteria. (Nitrobacter and Nitrosomo-
nas). These nitrifying bacteria need substrate 
with a high surface area to adhere to such as 

Ceramic Noodles

.

and grow.

these problems arise. 

Chemical Filtration (Carbon) 

This is the removal of dissolved organic and 
inorganic substances through adsorption on a 
porous substrate or by direct chemical removal. 
Dissolved organic compounds are what turns 
the water a yellow-brown colour or causes 
foaming at the surface of the aquarium and 
need to be removed.

Mechanical/Biological Filtration (Filter 
Sponge/Wool Pad) 

This is the process whereby suspended solids 
or particulate matter are removed from the 
water.  

It is important to remove suspended solids not 
only to improve clarity of the water but also to:
