This guide will help you understand how your aquarium
works and how to create a healthy environment for your fish.
Please read these instructions carefully before filling your
aquarium with water.
Aquariums are not toys, adult supervision is
recommended. Removing serial number label and/or
dismantling your aquarium will invalidate your warranty.
Carefully remove all the contents from the box
and check. Choose a suitable location for your
aquarium and noting all the advice above, place
your aquarium on a strong and level surface.
Remember the aquarium needs a
power source within reach and weighs 15kg
when full.
Wash the ceramic media supplied
thoroughly
before placing around the filter body, ensuring
none remains on top of the filter housing.
Use only ceramic media supplied, do not
use aquarium gravel or sand. Discard any
pieces smaller than a pea.
Connect the airline to the pump as shown and
place in a suitable position.
Positioning the pump higher than the
aquarium water level will prevent water
leakage or damage to the pump should the
one way valve fail.
Plug the pump and light unit into the
separate sockets on the transformer supplied,
then plug the transformer into the power
source and turn on.
The pump should be on 24hrs a day.
Fill the aquarium with tap water
to approximately 2”/5cm from
the top and add the Water
Conditioner.
Do not overfill the aquarium if you
intend to add decorative items such as
pebbles as they will displace the water.
Leave the aquarium running for at least 24hrs
before adding the Biological Booster and then
you will be ready to add your first fish.
When opening the lid to feed the fish,
water droplets may have formed inside the
lid. Wipe these away to prevent water
running down the back of the aquarium.
Setting up your aquarium
Remove the protective cellophane wrapper from
filter cartridge and rinse under running water.
Remove the Bubble Tube from the inside of the
aquarium. Offer up the filter cartridge to bubble
tube and twist the bubble tube in the direction of
arrow ensuring all cartridge tabs are fully locked.
Ensuring no objects are in the way, insert bubble
tube and filter cartridge assembled in step 2 into
the aquarium and lock into place by giving the
bubble tube a quarter turn.
When positioned correctly, the bubble tube and
filter will remain in place.
