Things You'll Need
- Airline tubing
- Air pump
Instructions
Attach one end of the airline tubing to the input on the air pump. Attach the other end of the airline tubing to the input on the side of the air regulating valve.
Run a piece of airline tubing from each input on the air regulating valve to the aquarium item you want to run. For instance, you would run a piece of airline tubing from one of the valves on the air regulating unit to your box filter, another to your air stone, and so on.
Plug your aquarium pump into an outlet. Turn the thumbscrews at the top of each valve on the air regulating unit. As you turn the thumbscrews you will release either more or less air to the attached item. Continue adjusting the thumbscrews until each item has the air it needs.
Slide the air regulating valve down so that it fits over the frame of the aquarium. Keeping the valve on the back frame of the aquarium allows it to be out of sight, yet easily accessible if you need to make a last minute adjustment after it is in place.
