Hints & Tips For Best Results
Note: This is only a guide! You should seek
professional advice from your aquarium specialist
at the time of purchase.
DO NOT ADD ALL FISH AT ONCE!
Build stock levels slowly over time. Allow at least
one week between additions of fish. Add a filter
supplement to help the biological system cope
with the additional waste.
Do not over crowd. Remember all fish
will grow, so allow them adequate space.
LIVE PLANTS
Once the water conditions and pH levels have
been normalised, live plants can be added to the

the aquarium. Remember to empty some water
from the aquarium before adding anything to it.
REMEMBER LIVE PLANTS NEED TO BE FED!
An aquarium safe plant fertiliser should be used.
LIGHTING
It is recommended that the light is turned
completely off for at least 8 hours per day to allow
the fish a proper night period. More than 10 hours
of full light daily can encourage excessive algae
growth.
• The LED light unit does not require replacement
bulbs and should last the life of the tank.
• To maximise light quality, ensure that the clear
cover and aquarium lids are kept clean.
