Aquarium Tank - 20L

What is it? 
This is a 20L tank (360mm x 230mm x 290mm) perfect for shrimp, snails or small or large fish. It comes with a light, and fully functioning internal filter.
We recommend ordering livestock at least a week after setting up your aquarium. If you haven't already got some we recommend adding aquasoil and some plants which you can set up now before adding shrimp. Don't forget a water conditioner as well. 

What does it come with? 

• Glass tank with lid. 
  (360 mm x 230mm x 290mm) (20L).
• fully functioning internal filter.
• Light.

Please note this tank does NOT come with soil, conditioner, plants and tweezers. We recommend getting these if you do not have them. 

Should I order livestock together with the tank?
You can order snails together with the tank without an issue, however for shrimp and fish it is recommended that you "cycle" the tank first.
The filter needs to establish itself before it can support a lot of livestock, so to let it cycle; you just need to set up your tank and keep the filter on for a week or two as you would normally. 

For this reason, we recommend setting up your tank and plants first, then placing a second order for fish and/or shrimp a week or two after your tank has been set up.
With that said, one or two small shrimp or fish would usually be fine, but do so at your own risk.

Setting up the tank:

• Unpack the tank from the box and separate the plants, soil and other parts.
  
• Place the tank in your desired location.

Set up the filter:

• Remove the filter out of the box.
• Set up the spray bar/air pipe.
• Place the filter inside the tank and thread the power chord through the hole on the edge of the lid.
• When water is filled in the tank plug it in.

Applying any soil and plants: 

• Evenly spread un-washed aquasoil over the base of the aquarium.
• Use a scraper or ruler to level the surface, or if desired create gradients.
• Slowly fill your aquarium with water until the water level is about 3-4cm above the soil. This makes planting easier.
• Begin planting your aquarium. Make sure you spray your plants with water until the planting process is completed.
• Once the aquarium is planted, slowly fill your tank to the desired level.
• Power up your filter system and allow the water to clear over the next few hours, then let your tank cycle for at least a week.
