Hi, I'm Charles, and I'm here to show you how easy it is to set up a Topfin Aquarium. This particular kit includes the following products, all designed to help keep your fish happy and healthy. So let's get started. First, place the tank on a sturdy level surface near an outlet. Then using plain tap water, thoroughly rinse the aquarium and all its components. Of course, every tank needs some basic accessorizing. Start with gravel and a few decorative items because your fish will need decor and plants to rest in and interact with. To set up the filter, just set the Topfin Silent Stream Power Filter onto the tank and insert the filter cartridge. Then attach the heater and the thermometer with the provided suction cups. And be sure to leave everything unplugged while the tank is dry. Next, fill the tank with room temperature water. And don't forget to add water to the filter housing. A power filter requires priming to function properly. At this stage, you'll also want to add Topfin Aquarium Water Conditioner. Plug in the power cords, leaving enough slack to create a drip loop for each cord to avoid a shock hazard. Most Topfin filters will turn on automatically when plugged in. Finally, make sure the lid is seated correctly. You'll need to switch on the lights. Be sure to follow the product directions and talk to an associate to learn the proper method for acclimating your new aquatic pets. You'll also want to add Topfin's Ready Start Nitrifying Bacteria Starter to speed up the cycling process. Your pet friends will love you for it.

Can you use sponge with bio filter or only bio filter?
Hello! Im watching this but i have a tetra tank, your tutorial is better than the tetras! Thank you
Hi just got the 20g tank and I have 2 baby goldfishs inside. I set up the tank Monday at approximately 7 pm and added both fish at exactly 12 am on Tuesday. The problem is the water for foggy, and there's no improvement, and today is already Thursday. Do you think there's a problem with the filter?

Hi there! We have an article that can help with the cycling of your water, if interested please check it out here: www.petsmart.com/learning-center/fish-care/healthy-aquarium-water/A0083.html. Did you also prime the filter by adding water to it? The tank should have come with a manual that includes set-up for the filter. If it is still not working, you are able to return the item for a refund or exchange within 60 days with your receipt. Please visit the link here ptsmrt.co/6015El81R for our full return policy.
Question am I supposed to leave the filter running all the time or do I have to turn it off? Once it’s done cleaning I really need a answer

Hi. Is there something to put in the filter to prevent fish getting stuck in it? After just a few hours, one of my fish has already died after getting stuck in the filter.

If I put the heater in my red crab claw tank, does it heat the whole tank? Or do I have to stick it in the water.

The filter cartridge used is the TopFin PF-L. Unfortunately, we are unable to recommend other filter cartridges at this time due to that cartridge being the one that comes with that specific filter for the tank.

I bought a Topfin heater to save a few bucks. Big mistake. It was fine for a few months but then one morning all my fish were dead and the water was at 95 degrees. Never buy a Topfin! And yes, the water was at the correct level relative to the heater.
