For tropical fish and tropical shrimp you need to use an aquarium
heater. The QubiQ design incorporates a space in the filter
compartment where you can install a heater.
We recommend the following aquarium heaters:
QubiQ 30 and 30 Pro: SuperFish Heater 50 W
QubiQ 60 Pro:
SuperFish Heater 100 W
You can keep the cable out of sight by running it through the
smart cable support on the back.
First carefully read the heater manual before usage!
Did you choose the QubiQ 30 Pro or 60 Pro. The light can be
dimmed in three steps by pressing the on/off switch. Operate the
light for 12-14 hours per day for optimal plant growth.
After filling the aquarium and with every water change always
add water conditioner to remove toxic substances and protect
your fish and/or shrimp. Add bacterial culture as well to help your
biological filter to start and maintain water quality.
Before putting any fish and/or shrimp in the aquarium, allow it to
run for at least two days (a full week is better) and ensure that the
temperature is correct (check the water temperature with an
aquarium thermometer). Make sure that whenever you add fresh
water it is of the correct temperature, big temperature changes
will make your inhabitants ill.
Before buying fish, shrimp and plants test the aquarium water and
adjust the water parameters as necessary. You can also ask your
dealer to do this. After placing fish and/or shrimp in the aquarium,
test the water every week.
Change 20% of the aquarium water weekly while cleaning the
gravel and walls of the aquarium, make sure the fresh water is of
the same temperature as the water in your aquarium!
Add water preparation and live bacteria with every water change.
Feeding is an important thing to keep your fish and/or shrimp
healthy, however when you feed too much your water quality will
get bad and your fish and/or shrimp get sick or die, feed once a
day as little as the inhabitants will eat in 5 minutes.
We recommend to use only Hikari Food.
