Caring for your aquarium

1. Every 2 weeks a 30% water change is desirable to

reduce pollution in the water. Use a sachet of water

treatment in 4 litres/1 US Gallon of tap water.

A Cleaner Pump (not supplied) is an easy way to

remove debris and siphon out the water. After setting

u

p never use tap water to clean the ceramic media,

this will kill biological filtration.

2. Every 6 weeks a new filter cartridge will be required

to maintain the water condition. The cartridge and

instructions are in the Service Kit.

Green Water is caused by algae growth. Some algae is

natural in healthy aquariums. However, if your aquarium

water quickly turns green it may be caused by too much

light, overfeeding, too many fish or high levels of nitrate

and phosphate in the tap water.

3. The Air Stone in the base of the aquarium will

eventually become blocked restricting the flow of

bubbles into the aquarium, the Air stone should be

replaced every 6 months.

The Air Pump will wear out over time and could

become noisy, reducing the flow of bubbles even after

changing the air stone. Replace immediately after

failure, to avoid problems.

4. Cleaning the aquarium requires care to prevent

scratching. Never use household detergents, polishes or

scouring pads. The outside of the bowl can be wiped

with a soft cloth or purchase a Plastic Scratch Remover

& Polish kit. The inside should be cleaned with a

Cleaning Pad.

The Light

24hr Lighting Modes

3xFlash= 1 hr sunrise - 10 hrs daylight - 1 hr sunset.

4xFlash= 1 hr sunrise - 12 hrs daylight - 1 hr sunset.

5xFlash= Test or demonstration 60 second cycle.

During the sunrise and sunset the blue LED

and white LEDs will be lit together until one

or the other fades out. The selected mode

will repeat automatically every 24 hours

Choosing and

introducing fish

Do not crowd with decor or over stock

with fish. When introducing fish, add

gradually at a rate of 2 every 28 days.

This will encourage a population of filter

bacteria in the ceramic media that will

keep the water clean. Adding fish too

q

uickly may cause the water to be

polluted and unsafe for fish. When

adding fish follow instructions from

your aquatic shop to ensure the fish are

gently acclimatised to their new home.

Feed each fish 4-6 of the pellets

supplied per day, do not overfeed.

CAUTION: Overfeeding will harm fish

and pollute water.

except in the event of a power cut or if

the mode is changed. If you have any

problems while selecting a mode, re-set

by switching off the power (fig 1).

Cleaning the light is easy and is a good

idea to keep your aquarium looking at its

best. Simply wipe the lens with a Cleaning

Pad. Your long life LEDs typically last for

over 50,000 hours and should never need

replacing.

2. To select a lighting mode. Press and

hold the mode button (fig 2) for the

required number of flashes. ie. mode 4 -

press and hold for 4 flashes.
