Which Water Garden do you have?

Tank Setup

What you'll need: tank, gravel, pump, clip, tube, natural dechlorinator.

1. Wash the inside of your tank and rinse gravel with tap water. Add gravel to the bottom of the tank.
2. Rinse the pump body, tube, and clip with tap water. Following the diagram, assemble your pump by attaching the pump and clip to either end of the tube. Place the clip in the cutout on the tank lip, and suction cup the pump to the inside tank wall. Note: The pump cord is submersible, but avoid getting the electrical plug wet while assembling your Water Garden. Refer to pump safety instructions for details.
3. With your pump installed, fill your tank with room temperature tap water to the fill line indicated in the diagram.
4. Add ½ capful of D-Klor to the water.
5. Your fish needs time to adjust to the temperature of its new home. Place your fish, while still in its separate container, into the water. Leave your fish in its container to get used to things while you continue setup!

Grow Bed Setup

What you'll need: grow bed, grow pods, nitrifying bacteria, Growstones, water sponge, organic seeds.

1. As your fish adjusts to the tank water temperature, rinse the bed, sponge, pods, and Growstones with tap water.
2. Place your water sponge in the waterfall slot indicated in the diagram.
3. Arrange your grow pods in the grow bed, making sure to align the round feeding hole in the grow pod and grow bed for easy fish feeding.
4. If you haven't already, evenly spread your Growstones out amongst the three grow pods. Pour the entire bottle of Zym-Bac (nitrifying bacteria) evenly over your Growstones.
5. Open your seed packets and sprinkle 1 tsp of seeds in each grow pod. We've provided you with both Radish and Wheatgrass seeds – it's your choice how many pods of each you decide to plant.
6. By this time, your fish will have adjusted to its new home – release your fish into the tank, and place the assembled grow bed into the top of the tank. Plug in your Water Garden and it's up and running!
