Do I HAVE to have a filter for my aquarium if I do weekly 1/4 water changes and use a siphon for the bottom?

Mizzy asked:


I will get a filter eventually, but I’m on a budget right now. Will weekly partial water changes and frequent gravel vaccums with a siphon be alright? I have a 10 gallon aquarium. :) Thanks!

SeafoamGreenSG asked:


Hi, I own a 20 gallon aquarium with maybe 8 little neon tetras. No real plants. How many hours a day should the light be on in my aquarium? It’s been at 8, but i think that’s too much.

Thanks

How many gallons are in my aquarium?

Tami asked:


We have a very large aquarium, however we are not filling it up all the way with water because we have a turtle in it. The measurements of the water: 9 inches X 73 inches X 7.5 inches. How many gallons are we putting in the aquarium? Thanks!!

Why do the real plants in my 20gall aquarium always die?

lacrosseplayer123321 asked:


I went to my local fish store and they told me real plants were much better for the fish than fake ones. So i bought the easiest ones to care for. I planted them in my aquarium and they were doing fine at first. Now they’ve all turned Yellow or brown and are dead except one of them ( i bought 5).

I use a weekly plant solution,
I keep my aquarium light on for exactly 10 hours a day,
and I keep my aquarium very clean.

Please help me before every one of my plants die!!!!
