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
up 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
1. Turn the light on at the switch (fig 1).
The blue LED will flash until one of the 5
lighting modes is selected (the mode will
repeat at this time every day, to change
this simply repeat these steps at a
different time).
1
24hr Lighting Modes
1xFlash=
1 hr sunrise - 6 hrs daylight - 1 hr sunset.
2xFlash=
1 hr sunrise - 8 hrs daylight - 1 hr sunset.
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
quickly 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.
