• Fill the tank with water and carefully check each side. Check that there are no leaks by wiping along the outer edges of the glass
panel couplings with a dry cloth (Fig. 3).
• If there are leaks, take the aquarium to the dealer so that it can be carefully checked or replaced.
WARNING: do not empty the aquarium by lifting or tilting it, as it may break! (Fig. 4).
IV. WHERE TO POSITION THE AQUARIUM
WARNING:
carefully read and strictly follow these instructions.
a. Position the aquarium (tank and base) on a solid support, which is appropriate for bearing the maximum intended weight of
the aquarium (see technical data), with a smooth, clean and level support surface.
b. Check that the support surface is perfectly horizontal; otherwise the water level in the aquarium will tilt.
c. Do not position the aquarium on tilting surfaces.
d. Position the aquarium near at least a couple or more power sockets, following the safety instructions.
e. Position the aquarium away from sources of heat and cold draughts such as stoves, radiators, fireplaces and windows (Fig. 5).
f. Do not position the aquarium near a television, radio or other electrical appliances that should be protected from splashes of water.
WARNING
: direct or diffused yet intense sunlight (rooms with many windows) encourage the hypertrophic growth of algae,
which can prevent the growth of plants higher up and jeopardise the biological balance of the aquarium. The correct amount of
light should only be provided by the lighting system in the aquarium.
V. INSTALLING AND SWITCHING ON THE AQUARIUM
V.a CLEANING THE TANK
Carefully clean the inside of the tank using a damp cloth and a clean sponge.
Do not use detergents or sponges that have come into contact with soap, solvents or other chemical substances.
V.b STARTING OPERATION
Open the cover. Pass the power cables of the pump, lamp and any heater (not included) through the appropriate cable clamps
on the aquarium lid. While holding the aquarium lid open firmly with one hand, remove the cable passage protection cover
by pulling it toward yourself (fig. 6). Extract the plugs and the power cables. Insert the power cables into the cable ties on the
aquarium lid. Reposition the previously removed protective cover.
V.c FILTERING
THE FILTER IS A “CLOSED CYCLE” PURIFICATION SYSTEM THAT MAKES THE AQUARIUM TOTALLY INDEPENDENT FROM CONNECTIONS
WITH WATER INLETS AND OUTLETS (Fig. 7). The filter is an essential tool for operating the aquarium. Without it, the water would
need to be changed very often. The powerful and effective filter is intended to circulate and “clean” water, trapping suspended
impurities and invisible dissolved substances derived from animal excrement, dead leaves and food debris.
V.d SWITCHING ON THE AQUARIUM
1. Insert the plugs into the power sockets, carefully following the safety instructions given in Chapter I. From this point onwards,
the power supply cables should not be disconnected unless regular cleaning or maintenance operations are to be carried out.
2. Check that the various appliances are operating (in the event of a fault, see Chapter VII):
• Water should come out of the pump outlet;
• When the lights buttons are pressed, they should switch on.
3. Proceed with adding any fish according to your own experience and complying with the “good practice” regulations for
aquariums.
VI. OPERATING AND CLEANING
EVERY WEEK:
a. Clean the inside of the aquarium glass panels with a magnetic brush (not included) to remove the patina of algae (Fig. 8).
b. Clean the LED lighting system protection with a sponge or a wet cloth (Fig. 9).
