Fish tank set up guide:
Put the mat on a solid case then u can place the tank on it. Put the cover on top.
Make sure that u place a tank far from window, so that sun light wont operate on it.
Install the filter as it says in the manual double check if you done it right.
Then start placing gravel. On the back of your tank there should be 24-28 inches (8-9cm) and then sliding towards the front whereyou should have something like 16 inches ( 4cm) of it.
You may want to put some decorations inside like stones, roots or caves but don't be silly buying any divers or boats.
Then pour gently water till you reach like 9-15 inches (3-5cm) so you can start planting.
Then you can fill the rest of the tank with water, launch your filter + lightning.
You should now wait for about 2-3 weeks in this time your new aquarium will maturate, after thatyou can go on and buy fish.
