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.
