SETUP GUIDE

  • Carefully take out all of the parts from the box that come with the kit, such as the tank, LED hood, heater, filter, light stick, plants, and anemone.
  • Choose a Place: Put the tank on a stable, level surface that is close to a power outlet. Make sure the place can hold the weight of the full tank.
  • To put together the aquarium, place the glass tank on the surface you chose, making sure it is clean and free of dust.
  • Set up the LED Hood: Make sure the LED hood fits tightly on top of the aquarium before attaching it.
  • Set Up the Filter: Follow the directions that came with the Tetra Whisper 20 filter to install it. Make sure the filter is in the right place and is linked correctly.
  • Install the Heater: Put the Tetra Mini UL heater in the tank by following the instructions that came with it.
  • Add Substrate: Rinse the tank and fill the bottom with gravel or substrate to make a good place for your fish and plants to live.
  • Place the Decorations: Put the GloFish plants and yellow anemone in the tank in any way you like, making sure they are firmly in place.
  • Fill with Water: Slowly pour dechlorinated water into the aquarium, making sure to leave some room at the top so it doesn’t overflow.
  • Connect Power: Connect the heater, filter, and LED hood to a power source. Make sure that every link is safe.
  • Check the Equipment: Turn on the gear and make sure the heater and cleaner are working right. Change the settings as needed.
  • Add Water Conditioner: To make sure the water is safe for fish, add the sample of water conditioner that was given to the tank.
  • Cycle the Tank : For at least 24 to 48 hours, let the tank run without any fish in it. This makes the air more stable for the filter system.
  • Keep an eye on things: Make sure the water temperature and filter work properly so your fish can live in the best conditions possible.
  • Introduce Fish: Slowly put fish into the tank while watching their behavior to make sure they get used to their new home well.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

  • Regular Water Changes: To keep the water clean and get rid of waste, do partial water changes (about 20–30%) once a week.
  • Clean the Filter: Every couple of weeks, rinse the filter media in tank water to get rid of dirt and make sure it works well.
  • Check the Heater Settings: Check the heater’s temperature setting often to make sure it stays in the right range for your fish.
  • Check the LED Lighting: Make sure the LED lights are working right and replace any bulbs that are burnt out as needed.
  • Check the Quality of the Water: To keep the environment healthy, check the pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels of the water on a frequent basis.
  • Remove Algae: Use an aquarium-safe algae cleaner to get rid of any algae that has grown on the glass or decorations.
  • Check the Equipment: Make sure the filter, heater, and other equipment are working properly by checking them often and fixing any problems right away.
  • Fish Should Only Be Fed: To avoid overfeeding and water pollution, fish should only be fed as much as they can eat in a few minutes.
  • Pruning Plants: Cut back any plants that are getting too big so they don’t get in the way of the water flow or ruin the look of the tank.
  • Clean the Substrate: To clean the substrate and get rid of any trash or other dirt that has built up, use a gravel vacuum.
  • Check on the Health of the Fish: Look at the fish often for signs of illness or suffering, and if you see any, take the right steps.
  • Change the Water Conditioner: To get rid of chlorine and other dangerous chemicals in tap water, add water conditioner every time you change the water.
  • Check for Leaks: Regularly check the tank for any signs of damage or leaks, and fix any problems right away.
  • Clean the Glass: Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe down the outside glass to get rid of smudges and keep the view clear.
  • Keep the Tank Covered: Make sure the tank lid or hood is tightly in place to keep fish from jumping out and to keep water from evaporating.
