Aquarium Set Up Instructions
1. Wash your hands and arms. It is very important to
remove dirt, moisturizer and other impurities. Do this
whenever you work on your aquarium.
2. Wash the Glass Tank (Inside)
DO NOT WASH IN SOAP OR DETERGENT.
3. Install Filter according to the instructions supplied
with the fi lter.
4. Consider where you are going to place the aquarium.
Keep it away from direct light or areas with large
temperature fl uctuations.
5. Place the aquarium on a fl at level surface strong
enough to support its weight. We recommend a genuine
Aqua One Aquarium Cabinet (Sold separately) rather
than general household furniture. Fig 1
6. Wash aquarium gravel. Use coarse gravel.
7. Place a portion of gravel into a bucket, run water
through & churn it over with your hand until the water
running out of the bucket is clear. It is important to wash
the gravel thoroughly. Repeat this process several
times until all the gravel has been washed. Fig 2
8. Spread washed gravel over the base of the aquarium.
9. At this stage place plastic plants, decorations and
heater (See Tips) in to the tank. Fig 3
10. Fill the aquarium with tap water to the level indicated
in Fig 4.
11. Use Aqua One quality Water Conditioner (Sold
separately) to remove harmful chemicals from tap
water. E.g. chlorine (See Tips) Fig 5
12. Plug in the Light Unit and Heater (If installed) and
turn on. Fig 6. Refer to Important safeguards for set up
of the Drip Loop.
13. Test and adjust pH levels. Fig 7
14. Close the Lid and turn the light switch on, ensure
the light works. Turn fi lter on. Fig 8
15. Allow the aquarium to stand for 3 to 4 days before
the introduction of any fi sh.
16. Seek advice from your retailer for correct fi sh
numbers and compatible species.
- An Aqua One heater and Thermometer is required if
you are setting up a tropical or saltwater aquarium.
Refer to heater instructions for correct set up and
positioning.
- Chlorine and other heavy metals will harm your fi sh.
Aqua One water conditioner will remove these impurities
and create a safe environment for your fi sh.
