Unpack All Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging, checking against the included parts list.
Assemble the Tank: Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the manual to assemble the glass tank and secure any frame or lid components. Assembly is required.
Install Filter System: Place the self-filtering system components as directed within the tank. Ensure all connections are secure.
Position LED Lights: Attach the removable LED lights to the designated area on the tank lid or frame, ensuring they are securely fastened and connected to power.
Placement: Choose a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources.
Cycling the Tank: Before adding fish, it is crucial to 'cycle' the tank. This process establishes beneficial bacteria necessary for converting toxic fish waste. Research 'aquarium nitrogen cycle' for detailed steps, which typically takes several weeks.
Fish Size: Recommended for fish with a length of >4cm. Ideal inhabitants include single goldfish, betta fish, or small, compatible tropical species.
Water Type: Suitable for both freshwater and brackish setups, depending on the fish chosen.
Filtering System: The self-filtering system helps keep water fresh. Regularly check and clean or replace filter media as per the filter's instructions (typically every 2-4 weeks).
Water Changes: While the filter reduces frequency, perform partial water changes (e.g., 25% every 1-2 weeks) to replenish essential minerals and remove accumulated nitrates.
Glass Cleaning: Use an aquarium-safe scrubber or magnetic cleaner to remove algae from the glass. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation holes on the top cover remain unobstructed to allow for proper air exchange.
LED Lights: Clean LED lights gently with a soft, damp cloth if they become dusty. Ensure they are off and unplugged before cleaning.
Feeding: Use the designated feeding hole to prevent overfeeding and to minimize disturbing the tank environment.
