2 – INTRODUCING FISH
Do not add fish immediately.
• Wait at least 3­4 days before introducing fish
so that the water temperature has a chance to
stabilize. Let the pet store personnel guide you
in your fish choice.
• Acclimatize fish before introducing them into the
aquarium. Simply float the bag containing the
fish in the aquarium for 20 minutes to regulate
water temperature in the bag and reduce the risk
of stressing your fish. It is not recommended to
pour the water from the bag into your aquarium.
• Once all gravel, décor and inhabitants have
been added, top up the aquarium with watern
leaving at least 2.5 cm (1") from the top of the
tank.
ATTENTION: Do not move the aquarium once it is
full of water.
FEEDING YOUR FISH: Once your fish have been
introduced into the tank, avoid feeding them for
24 hours. Thereafter, it is essential that you DO
NOT OVERFEED YOUR FISH. The standard rule
of thumb is to feed them only as much as they can
completely consume in two minutes.Once a day.
3 - AQUARIUM CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT APPLIANCES
IN THE AQUARIUM FROM THE ELECTRICAL
SUPPLY BEFORE PLACING HANDS IN THE WATER,
BEFORE PUTTING ON OR TAKING OFF PARTS,
AND WHENEVER THE FILTER AND/OR HEATER
EQUIPMENT IS BEING INSTALLED, MAINTAINED
OR HANDLED.
• DO NOT place hands, décor or introduce
any inhabitants into the aquarium without
removing at least 25% of the water volume as
the displacement will over flow the aquarium
water, and may cause damage to the unit or the
support surface.
10
• DO NOT use or place anything that has come in
contact with soap in the aquarium.
• UNPLUG power supply prior to cleaning the light
or any other portion of the aquarium. Use both
hands when manipulating this appliance. Wipe
exposed surfaces carefully with a damp cloth to
remove any dust or mineral deposits that may
collect over time. Make sure all surfaces are
dry before re­connecting the canopy/light to the
power source.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

• On a daily basis, you should remove any visible
debris or uneaten food, and ensure that the filter
is running smoothly.
• On a weekly basis, remove 10­20% of the water
using a gravel cleaner to ensure cleanliness
and to reduce build up of unwanted nitrate
and waste. Replace with tap water of similar
temperature, and treat with the correct doses
of water conditioner and biological enhancer
supplements. Note: Never change more than
20% of the water at any given time.
REPLACING FILTER CARTRIDGE
For best results, replace cartridge every two (2) to
four (4) weeks.
NOTE: It is important not to change all cartridges at
the same time to ensure proper biological filtration
(if applicable).
