3. Attach an O-ring to the intake tube and slide them into the
intake extension. Then slide the airline tube into strainer, and
attach them to the intake extension. Attach a discharge cap
to the top of the intake tube. Make sure the discharge spout
faces downwards.
Adjust the length of the tubes to the aquarium's water level.
4. Pass the airline tube through the tube holder, and attach an air
valve.
5. Insert the guide of the intake tube into the slot of the breeding
box. Insert partition plates and slit plates.
Depending on breeding conditions use the appropriate slit
plates. Little eggs, fries or juvenile shrimps may be pumped out through partition
plates or slit plate.
The thick framed slit plate can be used in the upwards/downwards positions. When
you place larger bars downwards, it
will decrease clogging.
Slide the second airline tube (sold
separately) into the air valve, and
connect the other end into an
air pump (sold separately).
6. Use partition plate if needed.
Little eggs, fries or juvenile
shrimps may flow out through
the gap.
7. Pour water into the breeding box.
8. Place the cover over the
breeding box and secure with
the cover clasps.
9. Make sure all of the parts are set correctly, and then turn the air pump on.
10. Use the air valve (ill.1) to gradually adjust water flow into the breeding box.
Juvenile Guppies may pump out through the slit plate if the amount of inflow water is
too high.
The amount of inflow will depend on water level in the main aquarium. If water level in
the main aquarium is too low, not enough water will be pumped into the breeding box.
Water in the main aquarium should not be lower than 5 cm (2") of the aquarium rim.
