Rinse aquarium gravel* well.
Gently pour the rinsed gravel into
the aquarium.
Rinse ornaments* and place into
the aquarium as desired.
Ensure that all ornaments are securely placed so
that they cannot fall over, which may harm aquarium
inhabitants and damage the aquarium.
Never rinse the Sponge/cartridges under the tap as you will kill
the beneficial bacteria that live
on
the filter media
and disrupt
the balance of the tank.
Unpack all filter media and rinse
before initial use.
