Routine Maintenance
Maintenance Preparations
Periodic filter media replacement is crucial for the well being of
your livestock. As most mechanical and chemical medias are
exhausted, they slowly lose performance and no longer filter
the water efficiently.
We recommend changing the media located inside the baskets
on a monthly basis.
Unplug the Filter Power Cord
Close the Inlet & Outlet Valves.
Press Release on Valves and lift up valves from Canister Filter
Lift the Reaction Canister Filter from the main body and not
the cover to a sink or drain to perform cleaning and mainte-
nance husbandry.
Unlock the HANDLE CLAMPS and remove cover carefully.
Drain as much water out of the filter and remove baskets
individually.
Regular maintenance is the key to a successful thriving
aquarium. Maintaining an aquarium can be very easy with a
regular cleaning schedule.
Water changes should be carried out on monthly to bi-
monthly schedule depending on how much bio-load is
kept.
25% water changes with gravel vacuuming is essential to
keep dissolved organic carbons to a minimum.
