When setting up what is currently a fry tank I bought a HMF.
The sponge fits pretty tight so the tank so I have just wedged it in and have added fine sand only on one side. There shouldn't be a need to do anything more substantial?
I have added the heater to the area behind the filter but noticed that the temperature in the tank was cooler than the filter area, presumably increasing the flow will help here.
I have noticed what I guess is a protein build up in the filter area. I guess with no surface agitation this is expected. Should I be doing anything other than a little cleaning at water change time to prevent this?
