Safety Precautions:
1.  Do not plug BioCube into an outlet or power 

source until setup and installation is completed.

2.  Visually inspect the aquarium and canopy prior to 

installation to make sure it has not been damaged.

Canopy Assembly
1.  Lift canopy from aquarium and visually check the 

assembly to verify that the light lens cover, 

compact fluorescent lamps and LED bar have not 

been broken, damaged or dislodged (Figure 7).

2.  Make sure that lamps are securely inserted into the 

compact fluorescent endcaps and that the retaining 

bands are attached to the lamp clips holding the 

compact fluorescent lamps in place.

Wet/Dry Filter Assembly
1.  Make sure that the BioCube filter cartridge is 

properly inserted at the 1st chamber of the wet/

dry section (Figure 8).

2.  Make sure that the overflow tray, bio-balls and 

bio-ball strainer are properly placed inside the 2nd 

chamber of the wet/dry section.

3.  Make sure that the sponge filter is correctly placed 

in the 3rd chamber of the wet/dry section.

4.  Make sure that the water pump is properly 

assembled and connected to the wet/dry return
