Sera Biotop Nano LED Cube 60 Notice De Montage Et D'utilisation page 9

SAFETY PRECAUTION
The aquarium may only be transported when empty.
Aquarium cover
Assembly of aquarium cover (2.1)
The sera LED cover is already pre-installed on the plastic
frame of the aquarium. Power supply of the LED cover is
achieved by an included ballast with an output voltage of
12 V DC.
Connecting the power supply (1.2)
Push the barrel connector of the ballast (1.2.3) into the
connector socket of the LED cover cable.
The connectors must be laid out in the dry in a way that
there is no tension on the connectors, thus preventing
them from being accidentally disconnected.
Opening the aquarium cover and snapping it in (2.2)
The aquarium cover is installed on the back of the aquari-
um with two hinges. Open the cover until both support
bars on the right and the left snap in if you wish to open
the cover. The support bars now hold the cover in place.
For closing the cover, hold it open with one hand. Slightly
press both support bars where the hinges are located
using the other hand. The snap-in mechanism will then
open. Now you can gently close the cover. Make sure that
both support bars fold in towards the back.
Lighting in the aquarium cover (1.2)
You can change the LED units as you wish. The LED chips
are placed in 2 rows with 4 LED chips each. The light
switch (2.3.1) is located on the right side if you look on the
front side (2.3).
Aeration
The LED cover is equipped with two fans for cooling the
LED chips. Both fans are located on the side where the
light switch is (2.3). Both fans take up operation when the
lighting is switched on. Check regularly whether both fans
are running as to avoid overheating LED chips.
Replacing the LED units (1.4)
Take the LED cover off the aquarium (2.1) and place the
LED cover on a soft, firm support. Now loosen all screws
of the clear pane (1.4.1). Take the holder frame of the clear
pane off. You can now remove the clear pane. Place the
clear pane on a soft cloth as to protect it against scratch-
es.
All LED units have a separate fastening frame with a bay-
onet lock. Turn the fastening frame counterclockwise until
the end (1.4.2), then pull it gently out of the lamp casing
(1.4.3). The LED chip has two wire pins on the back side
which are used to push the LED chip into the lamp sock-
et. The LED chip is pulled vertically from the socket with-
out rotating it (1.4.4).
Inserting the LED chips takes place in reversed order
(1.4.5, 1.4.6).
4 chamber internal filter (1.5)
The filter system of the sera Biotop Nano LED Cube 60
is already firmly installed at the back of the aquarium.
Please nevertheless check that all elements are firmly
seated.
First chamber
The water flows into the filter system through the overflow
grid and the little net (1.5.1) located at the back right. For
proper operation of the 4 chamber internal filter, the water
level must always be 2 cm (0.8 in.) above the bottom edge
of the overflow grid.
Water must be topped up in case the water level is
lower!
Lacking water makes the water surface inside the 4 cham-
ber filter sink until the pump begins to run dry and does
not agitate any water any more in case of continuing lack
of water.
Two black filter sponges (1.5.2) are located in the first
chamber.
Second chamber
The holder bracket for the sera heater is located in the
second chamber. Take the sera heater out of its packag-
ing and push it into the bracket from above (1.5.5). The
water flowing along the heater will be heated to the target
temperature (ideal: 25 – 28°C / 77 – 82°F).
The water then flows into the third chamber.
Third chamber
The biological filter medium sera siporax Professional
is placed in filter media bags inside the biofilter cham -
ber (1.5.3). sera siporax Professional does not only pro-
vide a scientifically proven ideal surface of 270 m
(2,900 sq.ft./US quart) medium but also includes a tunnel
system present inside the filter medium that allows for
permanent growth of filter bacteria. 1 li ter (1 US quart) sera
siporax Professional provides as much settling space for
bacteria as, for instance, 34 liters (9 US gal.) of clay filter
material.
Fourth chamber
The feed pump (1.5.4) is placed on the bottom. It gener-
ates water flow (agitation) in the entire system and pumps
the water back into the aquarium via the stick-on flow dis-
tributor (1.6). The flow distributor is equipped with two flow
nozzles that can be directed freely.
When everything is installed properly and functions well,
you may start setting up the sera Biotop Nano LED Cube
60. The sera guides provide detailed information about:
