Open the bags of filtration media, rinse them in water to remove excess debris, and pour them gently into the filtration section (3).
Section 2. Connecting an external filter/chiller The Orbit 20 aquarium has two pipe connectors on the side of the tank allowing an external chiller to be run from the internal aquarium pump. To connect an external filter or chiller to the aquarium, please follow the plumbing diagram below: Figure 2.
Section 4. Maturing the Aquarium and Adjusting Flow Rates Water Maturity Jellyfish are highly sensitive to freshly mixed salt water and water maturity is very important. If using fresh mixed salt water and/or artificial media that require maturation, then the aquarium should be left to run for two weeks prior to the addition of any livestock.
This way you can keep its growth slow ensuring you can keep it in your Orbit 20 aquarium for as long as possible before it has to be rehoused or returned to the pet shop.
