Hi i just got this tank and the electrical cord coming from the air pump is making me nervous! Is there anyway they could start a fire/ pose a safety threat? Sorry im new to the betta world im just not sure
No issues. It's made to be waterproof. You'll notice I don't have heaters in my tanks. Those are more of an electrical hazard or prone to fail and kill the inhabitants.
One reason I went with the upgraded filtering is to lower my annual maintenance frequency and cost on the system. I do twice a year maintenance on media. Maintenance 1 is typically rinsing of sponges and polishing pad in tap water. Maintenance 2 is typically rinsing of bio media in tap water, rinsing of 1 sponge in tap, rinsing of 1 sponge in aquarium water and replacement of polishing pad. I buy bulk polishing media and cut to size... It will probably last me a lifetime and is cheap
My pump is still working. Should be easy enough to find a replacement PULACO 50GPH 3W Mini Submersible Water Pump for Aquariums, Fish Tank, Pond, Fountain, Hydroponics www.amazon.com/dp/B07SJGKFT7/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_K0781GKWVE187CZD2H2E
