The tank itself isn’t as important as what goes inside it. It can be a large store-bought fish tank or just a larger clean food container or plastic storage bin. He swam around freely, but I knew it would be a little while before we would know if he would be ok in the new water.So, first, get your tank. After letting Buddy sit in his bag inside the aquarium for 15 minutes to allow the water temperatures to balance out, I let Buddy into his new environment with a little fear and hope. I then went out and got Buddy, a fiery red Betta. After about 3 days, plants were already starting to sprout. I also threw in some live plants on the bottom that the person in the pet store recommended. Instead of throwing a fish in right away, I decided to start the plant growing process first to let the ecosystem start with plants to start the oxygen cycle process. I used two and a half gallons of purified water instead of tap water, so I didn't even need to use the water treatment that was included. I kept adding water and swirling the stones in a large bowl, and did this several times until the water was clear and left litte sediment in the bowl. I will add that you really need to wash and rinse the stones in cold water thoroughly. The instructions came with great diagrams and photos, and I had it set up within an hour. I was impressed when the package arrived. I picked the Back To Roots system because it's an American small startup, and I liked the idea of a "self cleaning" tank that required little attention after initial setup. Mom has been wanting a fish tank, but I was weary of getting something that required a lot of maintenance and frequent cleaning.
