Is there a post or tutorial on really basic aquarium techniques?
For example:
- how long is it safe to leave the filter unplugged during maintenance?
- what's the best way to refill the tank after a water change and with what equipment?
- general tips on cleaning equipment i.e. planting tweezers, pruning scissors etc.
- general light vacuuming particularly in small tanks - tips and how to's (i.e. stop small stones lodging in vacuum tube and how to avoid damaging foliage, shrimplets/fish fry?!!!)
- when is it best to dose daily ferts/carbon for optimum benefits
- how long should you leave after a water change before dosing ferts (will the tap water and treatment affect them)?
- tips on glass cleaning including sealant
- dangers and warnings: i.e. avoid disturbing deep substrate = gasses released
