1. AQUARIUM GLASS TANK CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The aquarium tank does not require particular maintenance, except regular cleaning.
Special care should
always be taken not to damage the silicone seals while cleaning and maintaining your aquarium.
NEVER use soap, detergents or any other aggressive chemical substances to clean your
aquarium tank, as they may damage the silicone seals.
Do not use magnetic algae scrapers which are designed for standard flat panel aquariums.
In case of salt water aquariums, the following recommendations should be followed:
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF
SALTWATER AQUARIUMS
It is commonly known that salt water is far more corrosive, electrically conductive, and generally degrades
plastic and metal parts at an accelerated rate versus fresh water. To minimize salt accumulations on the
aquarium, take note of the following recommendations:
1. Make sure that the filter outputs do not spray above the water surface; position them below the
water surface with a slight downward angle, but allow for surface movement (which contributes to
oxygenation).
2. If an air pump must be used, frequent removal of salt deposits will be necessary.
3. Keep the water level as constant as possible (top up regularly to make up for evaporation).This is
beneficial in providing stable salinity and will help protect the canopy.
4. Clean all aquarium components that come into contact with salt water at least every 15 days.
Use a wet cloth (never use chemical products or detergents). Simple lemon juice may be
useful for removing calcareous encrustation. Rinse thoroughly afterward to eliminate acid residue.

In case of power shortage
In case of power shortage, whatever the cause, the system keeps in memory the status of the lights
before the power shortage occurred, either in manual or automatic mode. This means that if the lights
were on before the power shortage, they will light up again after power is restored. In the same way, if
they were off before the power shortage, they will remain off after power is restored.
If the automatic On and Off times are set, after power is restored both times will be delayed by the same
time as the duration of the power failure. With reference to the example above, if a power shortage lasts
30 minutes, the lights
will switch on at 15:30 and off at 23:30. If the delay makes On and Off times inadequate, reset the Timer
and set On and Off times once again.
How to reset the Light-Timer
To reset the Light-Timer, keep +1h button pressed for at least 5 seconds until the LED light switches off.
After the reset operation, the lights are off and no time is set for the automatic mode operation.uring “On

Troubleshooting: If the fluorescent tubes do not illuminate
If the fluorescent lamp(s) do not illuminate, even though the Light Timer or the line cord switch are
operating correctly, proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the Strip-Light.
2. Verify that the fluorescent tubes are correctly positioned inside the lamp-holders (refer to Section
# 7 Point # 4, titled “ Canopy Strip-Light Maintenance”).
3. If the problem is not solved after doing the above, replace one tube at a time and test it.
IMPORTANT:
If one of the 2 fluorescent bulbs of the same Strip-Light is not operating, the other
will not light up, even though it is in good working order and has been correctly installed.
4. If the problem is not solved after following the above, contact your Hagen retailer or Hagen
customer service.
SECTION #7
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Always disconnect all appliances in the aquarium from the electrical supply
before placing hands in the water, before putting on or taking off parts, and whenever the
appliances are being installed, maintained or handled.
IMPORTANT:
If the Strip-Light canopy includes the Light-Timer, it is necessary to reprogram the
automatic ON/OFF times after restoring power.
