Connect the other end of the clear hose to the fixture:
Find the common point of the hose by stretching. Cut the hose and connect the two ends to the dual output airstone:
Notes:
1. The white line on the drainage hose is the fill line indicator.
2. Once one starts planting within the unit, no opening/closing of the bucket's lid should occur, light on the roots can cause problems.
