| Video Discription | Congrats! You’ve just purchased a new Aqueon desktop aquarium. What’s next? Watch our video to learn! In this tutorial, we will be showing you a setup of an Aqueon MiniCube aquarium used for freshwater fish. First, find a suitable location for your new aquarium. Some things to keep in mind include future maintenance, outside lighting that may cause issues with nuisance algae and temperature fluctuations, and the weight of your aquarium. Be sure to find a level location and use an approved stand to accommodate the weight of your new aquarium. Next, rinse gravel and décor in fresh water. Slowly add gravel to the bottom of the aquarium until the bottom is completely covered with a depth 1-3 inches. Cover the base of plants and bottom of décor items with gravel to hold securely in place. Slowly add room temperature water to your aquarium, taking note not to disturb any of your newly added gravel and décor. Continue following until the aquarium is ¾ full. Water conditioner will help neutralize chlorine from the tap water and help make your fish feel more at home. Now, it’s time to add filtration and lighting! Plug in all your electrical equipment and install using the drip loop method. This will ensure that any water drips will not reach the electrical outlet. Install the filter, taking care to rinse any filter media prior to installation. Prior to adding any fish to the aquarium, wait at least 24 hours to allow temperature and water to stabilize. Afterwards, you are now able to add live fish to the aquarium! First, insert your fish (while still in the bag) into the aquarium and allow them to sit for 20 minutes. This will make sure that they are acclimated to the change in temperature from the water inside the bag to in the aquarium. After 20 minutes, open the bag and add approx. a half a cup of aquarium water into the bag with the fish inside. Wait five minutes, then repeat. Then, carefully allow your fish into the aquarium. Some final tips for success include: - Keep lights on for eight hours a day, but no more than ten. This will help reduce algae growth within your aquarium. - Feed fish two to three times a day in small amounts. - Change about 10% of the water weekly to keep your aquarium looking its best.
