1. Remove rubber fill plug from the top of the tank.          

     
2. Place a large bucket of water next to the Neptune Challenge and position siphon with the rigid hose 

in the bucket and the flexible hose into the tank as shown. Note:  Make sure small breather valve on 
the top of the siphon is closed before filling.  

 

Note:  Where water quality is known to be poor, FDF recommends the use of distilled water. 

 
3. Begin filling tank by squeezing siphon. Use Level Gauge decal on side of tank to measure volume 

of water in tank.  Note:  The amount of resistance is dictated by the amount of water in the tank; for 
example, 9 liters of water provides light resistance, 17 liters of water provides heaviest resistance. 
Important: Do not overfill tank!  

 
4. After filling tank to the desired water level, open the valve on the top of the siphon to allow excess 

water to escape.  

 
5. Ensure that tank plug is replaced once filling and water treatment procedures are complete.  
 

Tips on Siphon use

: Putting the fill bucket higher than the tank will allow the siphon to "self-pump"  

when adding water to the tank.
