Handling
Installation and Operation
Unpack a filter cartridge and place
it together with the filter foam as
shown in picture 1.
Attention: The green side of the filter
cartridge has to point at the front side
of the filter. The front side of the foam
grid is marked with „Front" and should
point at the front side of the filter.

When using a Tetra AquaArt
Aquarium, the Tetra EasyCrystal
FilterBox is ready to slot into the side
of the aquarium (picture 2).
For all other aquarium types please use
the enclosed suction cups, attaching
them as shown in pictures 3 and 4.
Note: Suction cups and holders for
heaters and/or filters are not supplied
with the AquaArt aquarium.
The outlet of the filter should be
placed above the water surface.
The distance between filter and the
gravel on the bottom of the aquarium
should at least amount to 2.5 cm
(picture 5). If you have placed plants
or other objects in the aquarium the
distance to the filter housing should
be at least 1.5 cm.
Now place a suitable heater into the
intended compartment. Attach the
l
enclosed clip to the heater and slide
this along the rail to the FilterBox.
(see picture 6)
We recommend using the precise
Tetra Heater HT50. A
HT50 is already included in the
Tetra AquaArt (60 l) aquarium.

Care and Maintenance

For crystal clear water the filter
cartridge (EasyCrystal FilterPack)
should be replaced every 4 weeks.
In order to change the EasyCrystal
FilterPack cartridge (D) unplug
the power plug, simply replace
the cartridge and plug in the filter
again. That's it! (see pictures 7 and
8)
EasyCrystal FilterPack replace-
ment cartridges are available at
your local retailer.
If you add remedies for the fish
into the water please use an
EasyCrystal FilterPack cartridge
without activated carbon,
activated carbon absorbs most
remedies. These filter cartridges
are available at your local retailer.
The EasyCrystal Filter BioFoam filter
(E) should be cleaned only rarely.
If the filter foam is clogged take it
out of the housing and rinse it out –
ideally in water you have siphoned
from the aquarium before in order
to keep many of the useful bacteria
cultures.
The Bio Filter Balls (F) can be used
repeatedly. If needed, they can be
rinsed in hand-hot water. To do this,
remove the net with the Bio Filter
Balls (see picture 9), clean them
and place the net back into the
EasyCrystal FilterBox.
Should you need replacement Bio
Filter Balls please use Tetra BB
600/700/1200, which are available at
your local retailer.
Do not use soap or cleaning agents
as their residues could be harmful
for the fish.
Do not use sand in the aquarium
when the EasyCrystal Filter is
installed.
If the motor of the filter is very
noisy unplug the filter and take it
Tetra out of the FilterBox. Pull off the
motor housing (H) and remove the
impeller. (see picture 10) Rinse out
the pump and clean the impeller.
After cleaning replace the impeller
and reassemble the motor housing
to the filter unit. Install the filter in
the FilterBox again and plug in the
unit.
When adding tap water to the
aquarium you should add Tetra
AquaSafe in order to neutralize
substances that are harmful for fish
such as chlorine and heavy metals.
