This kit requires that you have your own tank, top, and light. The kit is just for the innards!
First, you need to know how many kits to order. The kit will give you a 2" layer of clay balls and a 2" layer of cocofiber in a 10 gallon tank (6 liters of cocofiber and 6 liters of clay balls). A 10g tank is 10" wide x 20" long for a total footprint of 200 square inches. Just divide the footprint of your tank by 200 to get the number of kits you need.
For example, let's say you have a "20 gallon high" that is 24" x 12.5". This is a footprint of 300 square inches. 300 divided by 200 equals 1.5 kits (round up to 2 kits).
A second example is a 75 gallon tank that is 48" x 18". This is a footprint of 864 square inches. 864 divided by 200 equals 4.3 kits (round up to 5 or down to 4, your choice).
There is a list of tank dimensions here.
If you want more than 2" layers, for example, let's say you want 4" layers, you will need to double the number of kits.
The shipping cost is $10 total, no matter how many kits you order. Also, if you order 4 kits, that includes 4 cocohuts, 4 orders of java moss, 4x the plants, etc...
OK, you've figured out how many you need. Now, how do you set it up?
First, put the clay balls in the bottom of the tank.
Second, place the screen on top of the clay balls.
Third, place the cocofiber on top of the screen.
Fourth, spread the java moss (or Riccia) evenly over the cocofiber.
Fifth, place the cocohuts and plants.
Sixth, slowly pour water gently over all of the cocofiber to get it all wet. Continue until water fills the bottom of the tank to just below the cocofiber layer (so it fills the clay ball layer).
You're done! Mist the tank daily to make sure the cocofiber and java moss (or Riccia) stays damp. You can add frogs immediately if you want, but it would be better to wait a few days, or better yet a week or two. You never need to change the water, but you can if you want to. Just take some rigid air line tubing, connect it to some flexible air line tubing, and poke the rigid part into a corner and down to the bottom of the tank. Then start a siphon to drain the water.
