to mix tap water with about
50% demineralised water
for aquariums ; however, this percentage may vary
according to the chemical contents of your tap water.
11. 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 tester. 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
DUBAI aquarium. It is advisable to repeat these tests regularly.
12. During the filter maturing period, add a small quantity of dry
food each day: this will help the formation of bacterial flora.
13. When adding the fish, insert the remaining BLUSTART
filter activator capsules in the first filter compartment.
14. We recommend not putting too many fish into
the aquarium all at once, but building up to the
maximum population gradually.
15. Your retailer will be able to advise you on the choice of fish to
keep in your DUBAI aquarium, the quantity and type of food to
use and the feeding frequency.
DUBAI AQUARIUM 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 to replace that which is lost by
evaporation. Remember that the internal filter must always
be submerged.
• Replacing 5-10% of the water with demineralised water at
least monthly.
• Cleaning the inside of the aquarium using floating magnetic
brushes BLU 9031/9036/9038/9039 designed by Ferplast.
DUBAI T5
Replacing the fluorescent tube at least every year to retain an
optimum light spectrum. To replace a tube (11):
• remove the hatches and slide the overtank lamp until you can
access to the tubes;
• remove the plug from the electric power socket;
• unscrew the two watertight ring nuts on the light fitting (11
a/b);
• remove the tube by rotating it a quarter turn until the pins are
both lined up with the slit in the lamp holder (11 c);
• insert the new tube in the same way, rotating it a quarter turn
(you’ll hear a small click);
• carefully tighten the ring nuts.
DUBAI LED
Replacing the LED lamps is not necessary. On the contrary, it is
necessary in case of fluorescent ones.
BLUWAVE FILTER MAINTENANCE
The main maintenance procedures we recommend are:
A. Rinsing all the mechanical filtration sponges at least every
2-3 weeks (12); you can easily access to the sponges by
sliding the overtank lamp.
B. Replacing the mechanical filtration sponges at least every 6
months.
C. The effect of the adsorbent sponge ceases in about 2-3
weeks; we therefore advise, if necessary, replacing it with a
Ferplast replacement sponge available from leading retailers
or leaving it in the filter to perform a mechanical function. In
any case, it should be changed at least every 6 months (13).
D. During periods when the fish are being treated with a
solution added to the water for illness or disease, the
adsorbent sponge should be removed from the filter (so
this does not reduce the beneficial effects of the treatment).
When the treatment is over, we recommend putting in a
new sponge.
E. Always keeping the filter intake grilles clean.
F. Checking the pump at least every 6 months and cleaning it
when necessary in the following way:
• remove the hatches and slide the overtank lamp to access the
pump compartment:
• unscrew the filter top;
• remove the pump unit, adsorbent sponge and return pipe
from the filter, pulling it upwards (13);
• remove the pump from the return pipe, remove the front
section and remove the rotor (14);
• remove any lime scale or impurities with the soft brush BLU
9037 (never use detergents or chemical substances);
• re-assemble the unit following these instructions in reverse.
IMPORTANT
The biological materials should not be washed. Therefore, we
suggest never removing them from the filter so they retain their
active bacterial properties.
