    Filling up for the 1st time

    Hey the day has come to start filling, should I go straight from the tap or go through the pods? I like a slow trickle through the filters, would pushing a loads of water through them even be effective? There's only going to be a few gold fish in there in about 2 weeks until spring

    I would go straight from the tap with sodium thio,run it fast for a day or two before adding fish.
