You need to do a lot of steps but those are clearly instructed, so you won’t find that much difficulty to set it up.
All you need to do to set this Viquarium is, first decide whether you want it on the left or on the right side. Then place the pump chamber on your selected side. Then one by one set the filtration box, riverbed section. You need to set the box very carefully so that it does not shift its position. You can set the dry land area with some coarse gravel, ferns, plants, tree branches, rocks, moss or other decorating pieces. None of these come with the box, you have to purchase these separately. Just decorate the place as your imagination.
For the water section, the bottom part needs to be covered with a medium layer of gravel. Remember; don’t use the same coarse gravel that you have used for the dry part. Fill up the water section with normal tap water while keeping mind the max and min lines as mentioned.
