I'll be getting it friday kenny,everything comes with it,just have to
add water and fish.

i will be away until monday , but when u get it pick postion for tank and wash gravel until clear u may need to buy more, have gravel higher at back sloping to front(will aid cleaning later)
Put plate on gravel when adding water(stops gravel being moved) fill to about half way if heater/stat put on back wall(this maybe combined with filter) if so keep in filter housing position filter ensure filter and heater are covered with water u can now fill until about 2-3 inches from top u can switch on electics now if heater and pump running do nothing else for a few days until water temp settles(you may want to get a backing for the tank so no wires etc are not seen(fit this before adding water)on outside of tank.

Shelley the standard algae eater is not happy in pairs it must be the dwarf octicinclis ones u mean

not sure which ones they are lol... but they had to be bought in a pair.. theyre only very small ..... they whizz about the tank on the glass or stones ... i wonder why my fish die, but these dont

they will be small with black stipe down side best in groups min 4
