Instructions for installation and use
sera Biotop LED Cube 130 XXL
Please read these instructions carefully and keep for future use. When forwarding this unit to third parties, this
information for use is also to be handed over.
Thank you for choosing the new sera Biotop LED Cube
130 XXL.
The newly developed LED cover with 12 powerful LED
chips in modern SMD technology is 33% brighter than the
aquarium covers with fluorescent tubes, whereas the
power uptake is only half as high.
Besides saving energy you will also benefit from the long
lifetime of the LED chips. Lamp replacement is no longer
required every year, and even single LED units failing hard-
ly affects brightness in the aquarium. The lighting can still
be operated without any problems until the faulty LED unit
has been replaced.
The new sera Biotop LED Cube 130 XXL of course pro-
vides the well proven 3 side view due to the bow front. This
allows watching the aquarium inhabitants easily also in the
sera Biotop LED Cube 130 XXL.
General notes
• Please read these instructions carefully and keep for
future use. Also, please check your sera aquarium for
completeness.
• Please switch off all submerged technical devices by
pulling their mains plugs before touching the water with
your hand.
The aquarium is optimally packed. However, damages
due to long range transport may have occurred, as is
the case with all glass products. Therefore please
check whether the glass is in order before filling the
aquarium for the first time.

Assembly and operation
First assemble the cabinet, if applicable (cabinet is not in-
cluded). Please note the instructions included with the cab-
inet to do so.
Location:
Place the sera aquarium in a suitable location. Depending
on the internal decoration, the aquarium may weigh up to
200 kg (441 lb.). Therefore, the chosen location should
be perfectly even (best use a spirit level for balancing). Of
course, a mains supply should be available nearby. If you
have purchased the aquarium without a cabinet and wish
to place it on an already existing piece of furniture, it must
provide sufficient carrying capacity. The aquarium should
by no means be placed near a sunny window. Too much
sunlight does not only heat up the aquarium too strongly,
but may also cause algae blooms. The sera Biotop LED
Cube 130 XXL is equipped with a glued-on safety frame.
Place the aquarium with its frame directly onto the cabinet.
Do not use any additional mats.
Options:
• Lamps: The sera Biotop LED Cube 130 XXL is by de-
fault equipped with 12 white LED chips. The LED chips
can be replaced separately. Please use only original sera
spare parts.
When keeping small blue fish, you may, for instance, re-
place two white LED chips with blue LED chips for en-
hancing the color.
