Step 7Set up the Tank
Locate the fish tank where you want it. It will be tough to move once you fill it with water - water is 8.34 pounds per gallon, and there will be several gallons of water used here!
My pump has suction cups on the bottom of it to keep it in place. I stuck it where the intake was as close as possible to the bottom of the tank, with the discharge facing up (it rotates!) I connected my ball valve to the end of the Polyflo that is attached to the pump. This valve is all the way open. With the Grow Bed on its shelf, two 90deg fittings make sure that I don't have to bend the Polyflo to get it into the Grow Bed. You can bend it with a hairdrier, and it'll take a bend ok, but it is irritating, and I am lazy.
