Can someone please advise me what levels would be recommended for a freshwater aquarium. I would like both tropical aquarium levels and coldwater aquarium levels if there is any difference:
NO3 levels
NO2 levels
GH levels
KH levels
pH levels

Thank you for any advice you can give :o)
Thanks for your answer Smellen94 but the link doesn’t work! Argh! Can you offer any more assistance?

Thanks

How much lower than the aquarium should the canister filter be?

yayu asked:


I am setting up a goldfish tank in a coffee table aquarium. The base of this tank is about 6 above the floor level. If I set up a canister filter at floor level (about 6 lower than the base of the aquarium), is that sufficient for the the filter to work effectively?
