Instructions:1.Unplug the heater and filter before draining the aquarium water. Place an empty bucket near and below the aquarium.2. Attach the short hose to the rigid nozzle. Use the clip to fasten the long hose to the bucket (Figure 1). Submerge the rigid nozzle in the aquarium water. Squeeze the siphon ball 3-5 times until siphoning begins. 3.Some gravel will rise slightly as debris is removed but will fall as the nozzle is lifted. The basket inside the cap will keep small fish and gravel from being sucked into the hose. 4.When the bucket needs to be emptied, remove the vacuum from the water to stop the flow. Empty the bucket and repeat the process until the appropriate amount of water has been removed.Caution: Contains small parts. Keep out of reach of children. Advice for Use: To help maintain a healthy aquarium, change out 10% of the water weekly or 25% monthly. Use a water conditioner every time you add fresh tap water to your aquarium. Be sure your bucket is only used for aquarium water. Never use soap or detergent while cleaning the aquarium or equipment as it can harm your fish.
