I decided to get an aquarium in my house, and at the time of purchase, I had no idea about this forum. I thought I would just fill the water with salt and put a couple of fish in, and let them swim. But while browsing my aquarium on Google, I came across an aquarium forum and realized I was in over my head. So, I bought a BOYU 450 TL with a capacity of 58 liters. I've read many topics, but I still have a lot of questions. To start, I filled it with regular water for testing. And I think this will be my first swimming. Questions: 1. How much water should there be? Just below the sump? 2. Does the pump in the photo provide water circulation? 3. The tube sticking out of the sump and connected to the pump - should I remove it or drill more holes for less flow, or is it fine as is? 4. There's a sterilizer in the tube - should I turn it on, and when? 5. How should I open or close the compartments covered with sponge? 6. At what stage should I put these bags (filters), and how often
