unless its seriously under stocked, all tanks need a filter to house the good bacteria that turns fish poo into something less harmful.
2) Can I turn off the pump at night to avoid the noise factor?
no, the bacteria needs constant circulation to stay alive.
3) Do I really need gravel on the bottom.... it's hard to clean.
nope!! bare bottom makes for super easy clean up. get a turkey baster 
4) Would snails or an algae eater help with waste in the tank?
Thanks for any help.
probably make it worse. they reproduce and poop a bunch. stick to water changes to manage waste and thus algae. |
sorry so short- one hand typing.
