To care for and protect your fish, it is strongly advised to wait until the filter
has matured: the first fish should only be introduced 10-12 days after the
addition of BLUSTART filter activator capsules. Before doing so, it is in any
case advisable to check the readings and chemical levels of the water using
the special MULTISTICK TESTER gauge which allows you to check 5 main
parameters simultaneously: NO
2
, NO
3
, KH, GH and pH. Your local retailer
will be able to advise you on the ideal water temperature, hardness etc.,
according to the type of fish and plants you have decided to keep in your
CAYMAN aquarium. It is advisable to repeat these tests regularly.
• During the filter maturing period, add a small quantity of dry food each day:
this will help the formation of bacterial flora.
• When adding the fish, insert the remaining BLUSTART filter activator
capsules in the first filter compartment.
• We recommend not putting too many fish into the aquarium all at once, but
building up to the maximum population gradually.
MAINTENANCE
The main maintenance procedures we recommend, in addition to the daily
provision of food and regular checking of the temperature and chemical
levels, are:
• Siphoning the bottom when required using the special aquarium gravel
cleaner BLU 9025/9027 on sale at your local retailer.
• Adding demineralised water (both in salt-water and freshwater aquariums)
to replace that which is lost by evaporation as soon as the water level
approaches the minimum (shown on the front of the filter). Remember that
the water level should always be between the MIN and MAX levels, both
shown on the front of the BLUWAVE filter.
• Replacing 5-10% of the water with demineralised water at least monthly.
• Replacing the fluorescent tubes at least every year to retain an optimum
light spectrum. To replace a tube (
8
):
- firstly remove the plug from the electric power socket unscrew the
two watertight ring nuts on the light fitting;
- remove the tube by rotating it a quarter turn until the pins are both
lined up with the slit in the lamp holder;
- insert the new tube in the same way, rotating it a quarter turn (you’ll
hear a small click);
- carefully tighten the ring.
N.B.
• If one of the two tubes burns out, both will switch off.
Cleaning the outside of the aquarium, avoiding the use of detergents or
chemical substances. A sponge soaked in distilled water with a few drops
of vinegar is enough to remove any signs of lime scale from the glass. Be
particularly careful not to damage the bead of silicone that firmly bonds the
sheets of glass together.
Cleaning the inside of the aquarium using BLU 9031/9036/9038/9039, the
floating magnetic brushes designed by Ferplast in relation to the thickness
of the glass in your aquarium. The practical Ferplast cleaning kit BLU 9019
equipped with interchangeable blade and sponges, is also available. The use
of detergent is not recommended.
