After all that is done, arrange the rocks on the container. You need to consider placing the largest at the base then followed with the rest. However, the size needs to decrease to the top. Make sure the tube gets to almost an inch in the large rock. Then, pour water into the container, install the pump and plug it in. It will be ready to work.
