All you need to do is hang it on the back of the tank, put all the intake stuff in, put the media in, and plug it in. You may need to pour a little water into the back of the thing just to get it started.
So, the motor part that plugs into the wall doesn't go into the tank.
Not a question, but an observation. Three floating fat goldfish and fried the outlet.
Just kidding :duh:
Okay, so I think I'm missing a few parts then. My brother sold it to me and he's going to be here tomorrow to make sure it's set up right. Seems I'm missing the pump and maybe another part. The fishy's should be fine until tomorrow morning. If they complain about the cloudy water, I'll just tell them that they were brought here from LA, and that's what the climate is supposed to look like
