40. Allow the aquarium to stand for 3 to 4 days 

before the introduction of any fish. Fig 25

41.  Seek  advice  from  your  retailer  for  correct 

fish numbers and compatible species.  

  

TIPS

An  Aqua  One  Heater  and  Thermometer  is 

required if you are setting up a tropical or 

saltwater aquarium.  Refer to heater instruc-

tions for correct set up and positioning.

Chlorine and other heavy metals will harm 

your  fish. Aqua  One  water  conditioner  will 

remove  these  impurities  and  create  a  safe 

environment for your fish.

Note:  This  is  only  a  guide!  You  should  seek 

professional  advice  from  your  aquarium 

specialist at the time of purchase.

DO NOT ADD ALL FISH AT ONCE!

Build  stock  levels  slowly  over  time.  Allow  at 

least one week between additions of fish. Add a 

filter supplement to help the biological system 

cope with the additional waste.

Do not over crowd. Remember all fish will grow, 

so allow them adequate space.
