How to slowly fill the aquarium the first time?

[parotet]

I fill my tank quite fast using a Ehiem 1000litre/hour pump via 16/22 pipe into the tank from my water butt next to the tank. I use a 2litre plastic jug in the tank to act as a flow deflector and a plastic G clamps to hold the tube in the jug and to the side of the tank. Works fine no disturbance of substrate.

I do exactly the same but using a piece bubble wrap plastic. It takes a few minutes to fill a 60 liters tanks and once you're done, you put the pump, the tubing, the dechlorinator, the plastic wrap and other gadgets into the butt until the next WC
