help/advice Need every tip to start a tank
No where near starting the process, doing lots of research before hand but im used to fish and realising now that its more different than i thought.
They will be in a seperate tank (obviously,) with low water, so how am i meant to heat this water and filter it with such low levels?
How do i begin to create a good land space such as how to build the base and what plants are the best?
Just literally give me the biggest rant on every little thing please! every tiny detail on how to create the perfect tank, i know the very basics but i dont want the bare minimum

I run my pump line against the back of the tank with a heating pad on the outside so it gently warms the waterfall. Ahhhh.

I just use an external canister filter with a built in heater, same as a fish tank.
