Setting up a new 6-foot aquarium requires careful water addition to ensure a stable and healthy environment for fish and plants. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Clean the Tank
Rinse the tank with clean water (avoid soap or chemicals).
Wipe the inside with a damp cloth to remove dust.

Step 2: Add Substrate & Decorations
Place gravel or sand at the bottom (rinse thoroughly before adding).
Arrange rocks, driftwood, or artificial decorations as per your design.

Step 3: Install Equipment
Fix the filter, heater, and air pump before adding water.
Ensure all wires are secured properly.

Step 4: Fill with Water
Use a Plate or Bowl: Place it at the bottom to prevent disturbing the substrate.
Add Dechlorinated Water: Slowly pour water or use a hose with a water conditioner.
Fill to the Desired Level: Leave space for the lid and equipment operation.

Step 5: Turn On Equipment
Start the filter and heater to stabilize the water temperature.
Check if all equipment is working properly.

Step 6: Cycle the Tank
Allow beneficial bacteria to grow before adding fish (typically 1-4 weeks).
Monitor ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels.

Step 7: Add Fish Gradually
Introduce fish slowly to prevent stress and imbalance in water parameters.
