Refer to previous page for location of filter
components.
1. Consider where you are going to place the
aquarium. Keep it away from direct light or
areas with large temperature fluctuations.
2. Place the aquarium on a flat level surface
strong enough to support its weight. We
recommend a genuine aquarium cabinet (sold
separately) rather than general household
furniture.
3. The filter unit comes preassembled with the
exception of the heater and pump.
4.
Install the heater in the filter
as shown on the previous page.
Follow the instructions supplied with the
heater to set the temperature. DO NOT turn
the heater on when it is not submerged.
5. Remove the pump from its box and locate
the straight outlet (as shown in the pump
instructions). Place the pump in the filter as
shown in the diagram on page 3. Align the
pump outlet with the outlet hole in the front of
the filter and push the straight outlet into the
pump. Ensure the pump is secured firmly using
the suction cups on the rear of the pump.
6. Wash the substrate that will be used in the
aquarium. In order to do this, place a portion
of the substrate into a bucket and run water
through it, churning with your hand. Continue
until the water running out of the bucket is
clear. Place the washed substrate into the
aquarium.
7. Add any rocks or ornaments into the
aquarium.
8. Attach the light unit to the rear of the
aquarium. The light unit should be secured to
the right hand side of the rear glass. Ensure
the fastening screws are tightened enough
that the light unit does not move.
9. It is now time to fill the aquarium with water.
Ensure the correct dosage of water conditioner
(sold separately) is used whenever adding
new water to the aquarium.
10. Ensure all power cables are dry and plug
the light, heater and pump cables in at the
power outlet. Switch the power on.
b. Place the lid on the aquarium with the
brackets sitting on the sides of the aquarium.

11a. Place the glass lid on top of the aquarium
by attaching the lid brackets to the sides of the
glass lid.
