Setting up your Fluval Evo is a relatively easy process that can be completed in just a few simple steps. First, make sure you have all the necessary equipment - such as an aquarium stand and heater, filter media, water conditioner, gravel or substrate and decorations if desired. Next, fill the tank with dechlorinated tap water until it reaches about 2/3 full. Then add filter media to the filter basket in your Fluval Evo and install it into the tank according to instructions. Once installed, turn on both the pump and light unit and allow them to cycle for 30 minutes before adding any fish or other livestock. Finally, adjust temperature using a thermometer if needed and add water conditioner to remove chlorine from tap water before slowly introducing saltwater fish or invertebrates into their new home. With these simple steps you will have your Fluval Evo setup complete in no time!
