4. Fill with Water: Slowly fill the tank with dechlorinated water to the recommended level, leaving a small gap from the top rim.
5. Connect Pump and Power: Install the water pump into its designated slot in the filter compartment. Connect the power adapter to the tank and then to a power outlet.
6. Initial Cycling: Run the filter for 72 hours to 1 week or more to establish beneficial bacteria for a healthy aquatic environment. Add nitrifying bacteria as recommended by aquarium experts.
7. Test Water: Before adding any fish, test the water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH) to ensure they are safe for aquatic life.
8. Add Fish: Introduce fish gradually after the tank has been properly cycled and water parameters are stable.
