Thank you for choosing the new
sera marin Biotop LED
Cube 130
.
The newly developed LED cover with 18 powerful LED
chips in modern SMD technology is 33% brighter than
the aquarium covers with fluorescent tubes, whereas the
power uptake is only half as high.
Besides saving energy you will also benefit from the long
lifetime of the LED chips. Lamp replacement is no longer
required every year, and even single LED units failing hard-
ly affects brightness in the aquarium. The lighting can still
be operated without any problems until the faulty LED unit
has been replaced.
The new
sera marin Biotop LED Cube 130
of course pro-
vides the well proven 3 side view due to the bow front. This
allows watching the aquarium inhabitants easily also in the
sera marin Biotop LED Cube 130
.
The larger skimmer
sera marin Protein Skimmer PS 200
is another benefit. The increased skimming performance
improves water quality, and the frequency of water chang-
es can be reduced.
General notes
• Please read these instructions carefully and keep for
future use. Also, please check your
sera
aquarium for
completeness.
• Please switch off all submerged technical devices by
pulling their mains plugs before touching the water with
your hand.
The aquarium is optimally packed. However, damag
-
es due to long range transport may have occurred, as
is the case with all glass products. Therefore please
check whether the glass is in order before filling the
aquarium for the first time.

LED cover and the glass tank.
Please read the according information for use for operat-
ing the included devices.
Assembly and operation
First assemble the cabinet, if applicable (cabinet is not
included). Please note the instructions included with the
cabinet to do so.
Location:
Place the
sera
aquarium in a suitable location. Depending on
the internal decoration, the aquarium may weigh up to 200 kg
(441 lb.). Therefore, the chosen location should be perfectly
even (best use a spirit level for balancing). Of course, a mains
supply should be available nearby. If you have purchased the
aquarium without a cabinet and wish to place it on an already
existing piece of furniture, it must provide sufficient carrying
capacity. The aquarium should by no means be placed near
a sunny window. Too much sunlight does not only heat up
the aquarium too strongly, but may also cause algae blooms.
The
sera marin Biotop LED Cube 130
is equipped with a
glued-on safety frame. Place the aquarium with its frame
directly onto the cabinet. Do not use any additional mats.
