A Birthday Present for My Father

[Dream to Dream]

My father recently retired and is interested in getting back into freshwater fish. He mentioned wanting to buy a beta tank. However, I still have his old aquarium from when I was younger and would like to get it operational again.

His old tank is a Perfecto Mod 3. Some of the accessories include a Profile 5500 pump, Supreme Heetmaster mod 2, and Secondnature filter. Unfortunately, I do not have most of the original paperwork, and I have no idea how to assemble and function check the equipment.

Any advice as to where I could find instruction sheets? I would like to set the tank up for my dad as a surprise.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best,

Mike ~

Oh Andrew, you are the one man welcome committee!

As to finding the instruction manuals, I would check the website if they one, or just search for them on google.

I'm not sure yet. I filled it to capacity to test for any leaks, but I didn't take the time to measure volume. I would guess about 25-30 gallons?

Thanks to all for the warm welcome, btw!

Could you get a picture?
Is it vertical or horizontal. This is a big factor if you're getting fish.
Vertical is more expensive:/

It is a vertical tank, hexagonal shaped. I will attempt to get a picture up tonight if possible.

Actually, i made a mistake, horizontal is the most expensive. Sorry:/
Anyways, the tank you have must be impressive. Just make sure to respect the fishes needs, some need more room, some need more room to swim in.

What do you mean it's more expensive?
