SuperFish HOME 25 Mode D'emploi Et Garantie page 4

Setting up your aquarium:
Choose an appropriate location for the aquarium. The location should be relatively dark, for example
in the corner of a room. The aquarium should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Too much light will
lead to unwanted algae and may harm the fish and plants in the aquarium as a result of overheating.

Place aquarium on a smooth, horizontal surface with an adequate
load-bearing capacity. Do not place the aquarium on electrical
appliances or on furniture with surfaces which are liable to
staining by water.
Please note the total weights of the set up aquaria with water and
accessories (Home 25: ± 35 kg, Home 40: ± 50 kg, Home 60: ± 75 kg).
Clean the aquarium and accessories thoroughly with clean tap
water and rinse the aquarium completely clean. Never use
cleaning products or alcohol and always use a perfectly clean
bucket. Cover the bottom with clean aquarium gravel of your
choice. For plant aquariums, first add a nutrient substrate and
then cover it. When placing heavy rocks into the aquarium, they
must have support, like foam eg, otherwise the rocks could cause
breakage of the aquarium (no warranty coverage).
Fill the aquarium slowly with clean tap water of around 20°C.
Place a plate or glass beneath the water stream to prevent
dislodging of the gravel or nutrient substrate. Add water until the
aquarium is half full, place the plants in the aquarium, and then
finish filling the aquarium.
We recommend initially covering around 80% of the bed surface
area with plants. Include some fast growing stem plants, these
will help to prevent the growth of algae.
For tropical fish you need to use an aquarium heater, the Home
design incorporates a space in the filter compartement where
you can install a SuperFish heater.
The SuperFish Eco Heater 50 Watt is a perfect choice for the
Home 25 and the SuperFish Eco Heater 100 Watt is suitable for
the Home 40 and 60.
You can keep the cable out of sight by running it behind the side
panel.
First carefully read the heater manual before usage!
