Prepare the Secondary Filter for the Biofiltration Tank
8
Prepare Secondary Filter
When installed, the secondary filter helps remove
solids from the water in your aquaponic system.
Place this filter in the biofiltration tank on top of
the netting inside the tank. Complete these steps
to cut the filter from the bulk
112747
material sent
with your system.
1. Take the filter material and spread it out on a
flat, even surface.
2. Next, place a
55 gallon tank
on top of the
material to use as a pattern. This tank is larger
than the 15 gallon tank used in the biofiltration
position; using it for the filter pattern will
produce a larger filter to better fit inside the
smaller tank.
NOTE:
If filter is too large, trim to the desired
size.
3. With the tank in place, use a scissors to
cut around the tank to create the circular
secondary filter.
ATTENTION:
The remainder of the material
can be used for additional secondary filters, or
it can be used to cover your fish tanks when
small fish are present.
4. Fold or roll up the remainder of the material for
future use.
5. Set the tank and filter aside until needed and
continue with the next procedure.
