Setup:
Mount the filter, lighting and aquarium as shown in Fig. 1. Before setting up the aquarium, please make
sure that the load-bearing capacity of the base is sufficient for the filled system as a whole. The floor must be
firm and level. It must not give under pressure.
Filling:
When starting the aquarium, fill the filter tank about halfway with water. Connect the pump and put the
aquarium on. This has to be completely filled with water up to the overflow. Then start the pump. If there are
any air bubbles, add water to the aquarium until the air flow stops. Take care that sufficient space is left in the
filter tank so that any water that flows in when the pump fails or shuts off will still fit into the filter tank.
Lighting:
The desired lighting time is set using an external timer (not included in delivery). The lamp has a
white and a blue channel that can also be operated individually. When operated individually they can be dimmed
by pressing and holding the on/off button until the light has reached the desired brightness. Dimming is only
possible in single operation. Each time you tap the button, the light switches to a different light mode:
1. Off
2. White and blue
3. Blue
4. White

Operating the aquarium
Cleaning:
The aquarium is made of polycarbonate. Similar to plexiglass, this material must not be cleaned with
blades, as this would lead to scratches. The sponges can be cleaned, if necessary. Do not wash out both at the
same time to avoid that the bacterial lawn is affected. The pump has to be cleaned regularly, especially the
rotor and impeller housing.
Top up with water:
At the latest when air bubbles appear in the outlet of the feed pump, about one liter of
water has to be refilled. The aquarium does not have to be removed for this, but you can
slowly
add the water.
Then, it runs into the filter via the overflow. In case of a saltwater aquarium, we recommend using osmosis
water.
Water change:
Aquarium water is taken from the aquarium until the feed pump produces air bubbles. Then,
slowly fill the appropriate amount of water in again.
The
Aqua Medic Tri Complex
compact
(not included in delivery) is used to supply corals with essential lime
and trace elements and to stabilize the pH-value. For pH monitoring, we recommend the Aqua Medic pH monitor.
To feed the corals, we recommend the coral food coral fit.
We recommend to prepare your saltwater with osmosis water in order to minimize algae problems by silicic
acids, phosphates and nitrates from the beginning. Sea salt from Aqua Medic is formulated from highly purified
compounds. In this way, it will support you to keep the content of the above-mentioned substances as low as
possible.
The fixing of rocks and corals can easily be done with the underwater adhesive
Reef Construct, Coral
Construct or hot construct.
These are available as accessories.
For heating, we recommend the
Aqua Medic micro heater
(not included).
