Refer to the instruction manual included in the filter box. Check the salinity of your aquarium with a salinity meter. The recommended salinity for your tank should be 1.020. Let the aquarium run for 24 hours and then verify the salinity. Adding FishAllow your aquarium to operate for at least a few hours preferably 24 hours before adding any fish. This will allow ample time for circulation and oxygenation of water and insure proper filter performance.
