Setting Up The Aquarium - Ferplast CAYMAN OPEN 110 Manuel D'utilisation

CAYMAN OPEN aquariums
Inside your CAYMAN OPEN aquarium package you will find:
• n° 1 CAYMAN aquarium complete with overtank lights ARCLIGHT;
• n° 1 BLUEXTREME external filter complete with filtering material;
• n° 1 BLUCLIMA heater;
• n° 1 thermometer;
• CD AQUARIUM SOFTWARE.

SETTING UP THE AQUARIUM

• Open the lamp box and secure the lamp onto the top of the tank, as indicated in the
previous paragraph under 'ARCLIGHT: Installation above the tank of an aquarium'.
• Make sure that the lamp ring nuts are fully tightened.
• Secure the thermometer to the tank in an easily visible position.
• Furnish the aquarium as you like (your dealer can provide help and advice).
• In any case, if you are setting up an aquarium for tropical fresh water fish, we
recommend spreading an even layer of Ferplast GREEN ENERGY on the bottom no more
than 5 mm high, then covered with fine gravel, making sure that the total thickness
is not less than 4 cm. Fill the tank with water (we recommend using 50% tap water
and 50% demineralized water for aquariums, although this percentage could vary
depending on the characteristics of your tap water).
• Set the heater temperature according to the chosen types of fish and plants (for
example, for tropical aquariums with fresh water, the average temperature is
approximately 25-26 °C).
• Install the filter in the tank, scrupulously following the instructions in the relative
operating manual (including the addition of BLUSTART tablets when the filter is turned
on).
• Arrange the plants in the aquarium 24 hours after placing the water in the tank so that
the water's temperature and chemical values have stabilized.
• We recommend illuminating the aquarium approximately 8 hours per day: if excessive
algae develop, reduce the photoperiod to 7 hours; if the plants have difficulty growing,
increase it up to 9 - 10 hours (we recommend using a Ferplast plug-in timer).
• Before inserting the fish, you must wait 10-12 days so that the filter is active. We
recommend verifying the parameters of your aquarium water with the MULTISTICK
TESTER. Your dealer will be able to offer advice on the ideal temperature, hardness,
etc., based on the types of fishe and plants you have decided to grow in your aquarium.
The parameters should be frequently retested. When the fish are inserted, add the
remaining BLUSTART tablets supplied with the filter, as indicated in the relative
operating manual.
• During the filter necessary running-in period, add a small dose of dry food every day:
this will facilitate the formation of the bacterial flora.
• We do not recommend initially adding a high number of fish to the aquarium, but
rather to reach the maximum population gradually.
NOTE:
Because this aquarium does not have a lid, special attention must be placed on the types
of fishes raised; there are, in fact, certain species that under special conditions, for example
fierce aggressiveness, could jump out of the aquarium. Contact your dealer.
