* IMPORTANT
To ensure proper operation it
is essential that the impeller
is cleaned regularly, before
installation familiarise yourself
with the location of the impeller -
refer to the section “How to care
for the impeller and motor” for
more information.
STEP 1: Preparing your Aquarium
1. Carefully remove all components
from the packaging, and use the
component list to ensure that nothing
is missing or damaged.
2. Thoroughly clean the aquarium and
its components inside and out using
fresh water and a damp cloth.
NEVER USE SOAP OR DETERGENTS
to clean aquarium equipment as it is
toxic to the inhabitants.
STEP 2: Positioning your aquarium
Once decorated and filled with water,
the
Fluval chi
can weigh in excess
of 23kg (51lbs). It is very important to
choose a
solid, level surface that
cannot be damaged by water and
can support the weight of 23kg
(51Lbs)
. It should be positioned away
from any electrical equipment, direct
sunlight, drafts, heat sources or high
traffic areas.
Hint: Due to
Fluval chi’s
Square/
rectangular shape and Feng Shui
guidelines, it is suggested to position it
in the southeast area of the room
in order to attract the positive energies.
However, it is not recommended to
place an aquarium in your bedroom
or kitchen, as this brings unwanted
Feng Shui energies to these areas.
STEP 3: Preparing the Filter Cube
Filtration System
ill. A
Water is drawn up through the bottom
filter cover, and is first treated by the
double sided filter pad where floating
debris, toxins and discolorations
are removed. The water then flows
through the second porous foam pad
where the beneficial bacteria will live
and perform nitrification, transforming
unsafe ammonia and nitrates into the
safe form of nitrates. Once filtered,
the pump pushes the water up to the
top of the filter cube, where it falls
back into the aquarium, bringing puri-
fied oxygen to the aquarium; resulting
in a clean and healthy environment
(
ill. A ).
For proper set-up and installation,
please follow each step carefully.
a) Open the filter pad cover on the
bottom side of the filter cube ( ill. B) and
remove the two filter pads. Rinse both
filter pads under running tap water.

b) Once rinsed, replace both pads with the
filter pad placed on top of the foam pad,
with the polyester layer facing up (
ill. C) .
ill. C
c) Close filter cover, ensuring that it
clicks. If you do not hear a click, then
verify that the filter pad and foam pad
are correctly positioned.
d) Wipe the filter cube with a damp
cloth to remove any dust or debris.
e) Slide the filter cube onto the plastic
guide located at the rear of the
aquarium (
ill. D ).
ill. D
Make sure to align power cord within
the center channel of the rim adaptor
so it follows the contour of the
aquarium as the filter cube is being
slid onto the aquarium (
ill. E ).
ill. E
Note: There is a notched section on
the rear of the base which will hold
the power cord straight and neat.
Tilt the aquarium forward and loop
the power cord around the notch.
