sure you click the cartridge firmly in the filter box. If the filter
cartridge is not properly installed, you risk overflowing the
aquarium!

weekly. Pull the cartridge gently out of the filter compartment and
rinse it with clean tap water.
The filter cartridge contains Crystal Clear, this absorbs harmful
substances from the water. It’s important you replace the
cartridge monthly. Always disconnect the filter from the mains
when replacing the cartridge.

Place a plate or glass beneath the water stream to prevent
dislodging of the gravel or nutrient substrate. Add water until the
aquarium is half full, place the plants in the aquarium, and then
finish filling the aquarium.
Clean the aquarium and accessories thoroughly with clean tap
water and rinse the aquarium completely clean. Never use
cleaning products or alcohol and always use a perfectly clean
bucket. Cover the bottom with clean aquarium gravel of your
choice. For plant aquariums, first add a nutrient substrate and
then cover it.
Place aquarium on a smooth, horizontal surface with an adequate
load-bearing capacity. Do not place the aquarium on electrical
appliances or on furniture with surfaces which are liable to
staining by water.
