Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'm in Oamaru and I did take the mystery objects back to the Pet Shop yesterday but as the 620 is different to the aquarium they have in the shop I wasn't able to see what I was doing wrong. Luckily, a friend of my who is very technically minded came to collect an alpaca last night and he and his wife have a similar aquarium. He fiddled around with the elbow and found that a 'connector' had been wedged inside the elbow. I hadn't thought to inspect it that closely! Anyway, the elbow is now firmly attached to the power head and I am one step closer to having my aquarium set up.

I've just bought an Aqua One 620 aquarium and have a couple of questions about setting up the filter - hoping someone who has one of these already might be able to help. 1. Is the 'elbow' to which you attach the spray bar meant to have some sort of fitting to attach it to the top of the power head - it seems to be the same diameter as the outlet from the power head. 2. There is a 'filter outlet' piece of plastic but I'm not sure where it is meant to go - it doesn't seem to fit on any of the filter bits and pieces. 3. The aquarium has 2 filter chambers but the spray bar reaches to the end of the first chamber only. Does this mean the second chamber is redundant.

Hi! I've just ordered an aquarium from my local supplier. I'm getting an Aqua One 620 (90 litre) aquarium. It will be the first time I've had an aquarium since I had goldfish in my teens (many many moons ago). I've seen a brochure for the Juwel textured backgrounds and was wondering whether they would be suitable for my aquarium or would they take up too much precious water space? Thanks Helen
