MAINTENANCE

To ensure optimal performance and that your unit 

functions correctly, regular maintenance is essential. 
Failure to do so may result in damage to your unit and 

may invalidate your warranty. 

We recommend that a regular cleaning and maintenance 
schedule is followed to ensure responsible fishkeeping. 
Depending on water volume and stocking levels, regular 
cleaning of the filter media, impeller, inlet/outlet 
pipework during a 10-25% water change will help ensure 
that the product works efficiently and the aquarium 
remains healthy.

For further maintenance guidance, please see the table
