Aquarium Set Up Instructions

Aquarium Set-up Continued

17. Run water through & churn it over with your

hand until the water running out of the bucket is

clear. It is important to remove as much dirt and

dust from the substrate as possible.

18. Turn the filter off.

19. Open Aquarium Lid and fold back Support

Arms; they lock into place at either end of the

clear plastic light cover.

20. You may need to remove a small amount of

water before adding the substrate to the

aquarium as this may cause the tank to

overflow.

21. Spread washed aquarium substrate evenly

over the bottom of your aquarium. Remember

to wash your hands and arms to remove any

contaminates.

22. Turn the filter back on.

23. Put glass lids into place and close the

aquarium lid.

24. Due to the nature of the marine aquarium

and the many different methods available for

starting the nitrogen cycle, Aqua One recom-

mends you research these methods and seek

advice from your retailer as to which method

best suits you. It is an important step in estab-

lishing a stable biological filter for breaking

down ammonia and nitrite in your aquarium. It

is very important to be patient and monitor your

aquarium during the cycling period.

Aqua One's ProDrop test kits (sold separately)

are designed to test your aquarium water

accurately and easily while the log book (sold

separately) allows you to keep an up to date

record of the changing conditions in your

aquarium. Keep an eye out for these and other

quality Aqua One products at your retailer.

Aqua One, fish keeping has never been

easier...

Lighting Set-up

The remote ballast unit has two individual

timers on it. This will allow you to set the blue

actinic lights to come one first and turn off last.

If you wish to simulate natural light conditions.

This function does not have to be used. You can

simply override these timers by using the two

light switches on top of the aquarium lid.

Refer to page 5 of this instruction booklet for

timer setup instructions.

No more than 8 hours of light each day and

definitely no natural light. Longer light times will

accelerate algae growth in the aquarium and

has no benefit to coral or fish.

once every twelve months based on the light

being on 8 hours a day as the spectrum of light

changes over time and may cause excess

algae growth .
