Instructions:
- Do not wash product before use. AquaIron is pre-washed.
-
Use in an empty aquarium only. Product will cloud and clog filters if added to an established tank incorrectly, extreme care must be taken and majority of water removed before adding.
- Evenly spread over the base of the aquarium.
- Slowly fill the aquarium with water. Laying a small plate or bag on the sand and pouring the water over this will prevent stirring up the sand.
- Fill to about 3-4cm above the Iron Sand, this makes for easier planting.
- Begin planting your aquarium. Make sure you spray your plants with water until the planting is complete.
- Once planting is completed, fill the aquarium to the desired level. Using a bag or container to disperse the water will reduce clouding.
Allow a few hours to pass abefore starting your filter, to prevent any iron sand getting stuck to your impeller as it is slightly magnetic. Keeping filters or pumps too close to Iron Sand may affect your impeller.
