Setup Instructions
Please check that all parts and equipment are
present and not damaged before setting up your
aquarium.
All equipment and accessories should only be
used for the aquarium and should be purchased
specifically for aquarium use. Do not use any
chemicals or detergents to clean anything
intended for the aquarium.
All plumbing components are already glued into
place except where threaded joints are required
for assembly into the aquarium or to allow access
for maintenance. Two people will be required to
connect the plumbing through the base of the
aquarium, one to access from above the weir and
one to hold pipes in place below the aquarium.
NOTE: Plumbers thread tape is supplied on
threaded fittings; it is highly recommended that
this be replaced if the plumbing is disconnected
at any time.
Consider where you are going to place the
aquarium. Keep it away from direct light or areas
with large temperature fluctuations.
Before setting up the aquarium, consider what
you wish to keep in the aquarium. Depending
on how you wish to use this aquarium, you may
want to add substrate and rockwork during the
assembly stage of setting up. Please consult
with your aquarium specialist for advice before
assembling the aquarium.
For part identification, please refer to pages 5-7
