Aquarium Hoods
Constructed of a two-piece, precision molded, durable plastic frame that will not
corrode or degrade. Full-length hinged panel provides access for routine maintenance,
feeding, or manipulation of fish and plants. The removable strip light rests
securely on the rear portion of the frame. Below the light is a fixed glass panel
which protects the electrical components from splashes and allows for bulb
changes without permitting fish to escape. At the rear of the hood are several cutouts,
designed for easy removal, which provide openings for various accessories
(power filter, feeder, heater, etc.). Supplied with an instant-start, wide-spectrum
fluorescent bulb.

Locate the tank on a strong, level surface or aquarium stand. A thin layer of Styrofoam®
under the tank will correct for any surface irregularities. To avoid excessive algal growth,
do not place it in direct sunlight. Be aware of any possible sources of heat or cold and try
to avoid them.
Install the undergravel filter (if using one) and gravel. Follow instructions for assembly
and placement of the filter, its airlines and filter cartridges. Whether or not it is sealcoated,
gravel should be thoroughly rinsed in clean water. Count on a minimum of one
pound of gravel per gallon of water. Gravel depth should be approximately 1½" to 2".
Water is next. Tap water that has been aged at least two or three days will be fine. We
strongly recommend treatment with a water detoxifier (to remove residual chlorine or
chloramine) and a water conditioner. Follow these guidelines also when doing regular
water exchanges. To avoid disturbing the gravel, pour the water into a shallow bowl placed
on the gravel surface. Fill the tank up to the bottom of the top plastic molding.
Set up and connect the pump, other filters, aerators, heaters, etc. Allow this equipment
to operate for several days to equilibrate water chemistry and temperature. Check and
adjust pH to proper levels. Check water temperature at different times of the day, and make
any necessary adjustments to the heater setting.
Introduce the fish! Build the population gradually and monitor water conditions closely
at first as you gradually settle into a regular schedule for monitoring and maintenance.
