How to set up your new Betta Bowl Aquarium
GETTING STARTED
Setting up your new aquarium is not difficult. An aquarium is a beautiful, fascinating addition to your home, dorm or
office and can become a welcome source of enjoyment, education, and relaxation.
Pick a location away from direct sunlight, heat, or air conditioning. Direct sunlight can cause unwanted algae growth
that can cover your rocks and decorations. Placement of the aquarium away from heating and air conditioning vents is
also important, because it is easier to maintain proper aquarium temperature when the surrounding air temperature is
relatively stable. Place the aquarium where you will be able to see and appreciate the beauty of your fish.
1. Rinse your tank with warm water only. Do not use soap, detergents or cleaning agents. These cleansers may leave
residues that can be harmful to your fish. Avoid using any used rags or sponges that were used for cleaning and
contain harmful chemicals; these can be toxic to your fish also. Wipe the water off the outside of the tank with a
clean, soft cloth.
2. Place your aquarium on a level surface because an aquarium filled with water, gravel, rocks, and decorations will
weigh about 10 lbs. per gallon.
3. Rinse your aquarium gravel and decorations (not included) thoroughly. Empty the bag of gravel into a new plastic
bucket or one that has never been used with chemicals. Place the bucket in the sink and turn the cold water on,
allowing the tap water to fill the bucket. Gently stir the gravel as the water fills the bucket and continue to do so as
the bucket overflows, rinsing the gravel until the water runs clear. Place gravel, rocks and decorations in the tank
now, spreading the gravel evenly across the bottom of the aquarium.
4. Fill aquarium with water to within two to three inches of the top of the aquarium and Water Conditioner to remove tap
water chemicals such as chlorine and chloramine.
5. Depending on the type of light your kit includes you can change the batteries (not included) as shown below. Light
Hood must always be in place during operation. Replace batteries as necessary. When the LED light ceases to
work, visit your retailer to purchase replacement.
