The manual can be found at “http://www.fisher-price.com/inst_sheets/H6318a-0728.pdf”. You actually have to remove the entire battery pack via 4 screws inside the battery chamber. Made in China.

Thank you Shelly!!!! I could not figure out how to get the battery pack off the back & was scared I was going to break it. Now it will finally fit on the crib.
thanks!!

Stephanie, I searched for the same thing. After going back to the Fisher Price website I found a page where you can get instruction sheets for their products. Here’s what it said:
• Locate the battery compartment
door on the battery box.
• Loosen the screws in the
battery compartment door
with a Phillips screwdriver.
Remove the battery
compartment door.
• Fit the battery box to the
socket on the back of
the toy.
• Tighten the four screws inside
the battery compartment to
secure the battery box.

I was wondering if anyone could please tell me how to attach this to the crib. I found it at a second hand store and the rectangle part was already on it. I don’t want to break it trying to get it off and I can’t find the manual for it on line. Thanks

I did it also and was fun. I did something different as what Christina did, since my aquarium didn’t look like the one she described (but is the same as in the pics above). In a nutshell this is what I did:

Remove the back cover. Remove the small screw that attached the power connector to the back lid, so you can work better on the aquarium. You will see the pump in the low right corner with three transparent hoses connected to it. The two lower hoses go to the right and the left of the aquarium. The upper hose goes to the top. With a scalpel (or sharp blade) cut the upper hose that goes to the top of the aquarium approx. 1″ from the pump. Keep the aquarium vertical as much as possible. (I put it inside a box since didn’t have anybody around when I was fixing it). Using a small syringe (no needle) inject distilled water through the short hose connected to the pump. It took me several loads of water because my syringe was small. The syringe I used fit its end perfectly into to hose. Don’t fill it all the way to the top. You need to leave 3/4 of an inch of air inside the aquarium. Once the water was as its correct level, I used one of those garden irrigation emitters (drop emitters) that you can buy at Home Center or other places to join the cut hose. You can use another tube or similar to rejoin the hose. Even use a piece of a straw to slide over the hoses and then hot glue it well to avoid the water to go out. Put everything together and voila!

I took some pictures of what I did, so if interested drop me an email and can help you further. My email is sqnewton at hotmail dot com .

I did but it is very time consuming. I just took off the back. Inside you will find a white piece with black rubber plug. Unscrew the two big screws and then the four small ones…this will allow you to open the two white parts to get the rubber part off. Gently take the black rubber part off. Under the black rubber part is a black flap…small one…..gently lift this and there is a small pin size hole…..this is where the water goes in…I recommend a needle (schreng)…it is time consuming but worth it to keep it going.

I have the same problem with my 5 year-old Ocean Wonders Aquarium. Poor baby #3 has to use it only half full of water. (Notice I didn’t say “half empty.”) It still works otherwise. Its just a bummer b/c it’s kind of a lame toy without the bubbles.

This is Julie’s response to my email.

Thank you for your response. The water isn’t that low it still works well and all the stuff I’m reading about the new Aquarium, I will just stick with this one….
Thanks again,
Julie

Hi Julie. I read your question about the Ocean Wonders Musical Aquarium. I had no idea that the water could run low. I called Fisher Price and asked about the issue. They explained that there is no way to refill the aquarium. They said it is sealed off. They also said that the water runs low at times and depending on where you live, it may run low faster or slower. Sorry about the bad news. I am disappointed as well. Thanks so much for visiting Babysmileandgrow.com and I look forward to hearing from you again!
Thank you!
