INSTRUCTIONS :
In an ideal world apply ClearTank to new aquariums before fish and living plants have been placed - if you are applying ClearTank to an existing aquarium please follow the information below :
1 Remove all fish and living plants from tank. Place them in a temporary enclosure that will sustain their health for a minimum of two hours.
2 Remove all filtration equipment from tank bottom and sides. Sand or gravel may be left on bottom of tank but it is suggested that this material be scooped into a bucket or other appropriate container before treatment of tank.
3 Clean all interior tank walls and bottom with water. Use an aquarium cleaning pad to assure the removal of all deposits and dirt on tank surfaces.
4 Rinse tank thoroughly and dry completely before application of clear TANK™. Although clear TANK™ is non-toxic, it is advised that the user wear protective glove and glasses. As with all aerosol products it is recommended that this product be applied in a well ventilated area.
5 Shake container well for 30 seconds before using to ensure even mixing of product.
6 Spray entire interior of empty aquarium tank with clear TANK™ solution start- ing at the top edge of the aquarium tank making sure to completely cover all interior surfaces ending with the tank bottom.
7 Using the supplied application cloth, wipe the solution that drips and accumulates on the bottom of tank, back onto tank walls to ensure com- plete and even coverage.
8 Let solution stand on tank to air dry for a minimum of 1 (one) hour. For optimal results, 24 hours is recommended. Optional: use hair dryer to speed up process.
9 The tank walls and bottom will have a thin hazy film after drying. This film is normal and will help you to identify any spots on the tank that might not have been covered. If areas are found, simply re-apply clear TANK™ to only those areas and let dry for a minimum of 1 (one) hour.
10 Rinse tank completely using clean water to remove all solution residue. (Any stubborn spots will be removed easily by rubbing them with the application cloth.)
11 Save the application cloth as this is all you will need for future tank wall cleanup.
12 Proceed with normal tank setup as directed for your aquarium’s specific needs.
13 After tank is set up and has been running for 1 week, it is recommended that the tank interior be wiped down with the application cloth. This will remove any debris that may have accumulated on the tank walls during the initial tank setup.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE :
Lightly wipe treated surfaces with the supplied application cloth as necessary to remove any fouling.
clear TANK™ is not a substitute for proper aquarium cleaning and maintenance.
