Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup begins with the assembly of the Shaker cabinet, which must be placed on a level, weight-bearing floor. Once the tank is positioned, route the filter hoses through the base of the aquarium before filling the tank with water. Always use a high-quality water conditioner to neutralize chlorine before adding livestock.
For maintenance, wipe the Slate Grey cabinet with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent scratching. The sliding covers should be cleaned periodically to prevent salt creep or water spots that could impede light transmission. The 07 series filter media should be rinsed in tank water—never tap water—during monthly maintenance to preserve beneficial bacteria colonies.
