Getting Started - The JUWEL filter system Bioflow 3.0, 6.0 and 8.0
You should prepare the filter for operation prior to setting up the aquarium. However,
do not connect the electrical components to the power supply yet.
Please observe the following notes regarding commissioning the JUWEL filter system
Bioflow:
The JUWEL filter system consists of:
- 1 heater (included in complete aquariums only)
- 1 heater holder
- 1 pump
- 1 outlet nozzle
- 2 filter basket
- 3 sets of white filter wool, packaged
- 1 carbon sponge, packaged
- 1 green nitrate remover sponge, packaged
- 1 blue filter sponge "rough"
- 1 Cirax filter medium, packaged
- 2 blue filter sponges "fine"
1. Insert the base of the pump into the pump holder of the filter and firmly push it
into position. In that context, the pump outlet faces in the direction of the outlet
opening.
Confirm the proper arrangement of the gasket in the outlet opening (it is used to
minimize the transmission of vibrations).
2. Carefully attach the outlet nozzle from the outside through the opening to the
pump outlet and ensure its firm connection.
3. Insert the heater holder into the guide rail of the filter separation wall.
4. Insert the heater from above into the heater holder.
5. Now start preparing the filter sponges by removing the plastic packaging from the
carbon sponge and the nitrate remover sponge and the Cirax filter medium. Thoroughly
rinse the blue filter sponges only under running water.
6. After this, insert the blue "fine" filter sponges and the Cirax filter medium into the
lower filter basket. Following that, place the blue "rough" filter sponge, the green
nitrate remover sponge, the carbon sponge, and filter wool in the top position into the
upper filter basket and push both filter baskets into the filter housing.
7. Place the filter cover on the filter housing.
8. The JUWEL filter system Bioflow is now ready for operation.

The JUWEL Aquarium Filter System is a biological filter system. For it to work
effectively, bacteria cultures will need to grow inside the blue sponges. This process
can take up 6-8 weeks for the filter to fully mature. Consequently we recommend to
decorate and plant the aquarium and add just a few (3-5) hardy fish in order to help
the maturation process. Please test the water on a weekly basis to monitor the water
conditions and once the water is safe you can begin to add more fish.
Recommendation
JUWEL Air Diffuser
The special JUWEL Aquarium Air Diffuser provides additional oxygen to the aquarium if
desired. This can be ordered from your JUWEL Aquarium retailer (Part No. 85145).
