Water pump maintenance
Regular cleaning of the iQ13 pump prolongs its
life and ensures consistent water flow with
a low noise level. To clean the pump,
simply remove the cover from the
pump, remove the impeller screen,
and clean everything. Then put it all
back together and place the pump
back in the pump chamber.
Regulating the pump output
The pump output is adjustable. It is set
to maximum by default because a high
flow rate is important in saltwater
aquariums.
Filter maintenance
Every week you should replace 20% of the water in
the aquarium with fresh seawater and clean the
filter to keep the water in good condition. Filter
maintenance is easy. Remove the cover (trickle)
and the white filter fleece from the first chamber
and rinse them thoroughly with clean tap water,
then re-install them. Regular cleaning of the
black bio-sponge is not desirable
because it would eliminate the
bacteria in the sponge, which provide
biological filtration.
iQ filter media
The three-in-one iQ filter media
combine mechanical, chemical and
biological filtration in the same filter, in
the form of white filter fleece, activated
carbon and highly porous bioglass.
Replace these media monthly to
maintain optimal water quality.
Complete replacement kits are
available from your dealer.
Removing algae and lime deposits
Warning: Never clean acrylic plastics with alcohol or
cleaning products containing alcohol. Alcohol will
damage your acrylic aquarium, and this damage
is not covered by the warranty.
The Superfish Nano Aqua Tool is specifically
designed for easy cleaning of your acrylic aquarium.
The Superfish Mag Clean Mini floating glass cleaner is
also specifically suitable for acrylic aquariums.
Both accessories are available from your dealer.
Removing small scratches
Use the iQube Cleaning Kit, consisting of
polishing paste and a soft cloth, to easily
remove small scratches from the surface of the
acrylic plastic. You can also use the polishing
stone (available separately) to give the acrylic
surface a high gloss.
Keeping the aquarium walls clean
Fingerprints on the acrylic walls of the aquarium
can be removed easily with the synthetic iQube
cleaning cloth. Unlike other cloths, it will not
scratch or streak the surface. (available
separately)
iQ Skimmer
A skimmer is necessary for maintaining
good water quality in saltwater aquariums.
Use the iQ Skimmer to remove protein
foam from the water surface. For best
results, replace the wooden aerator block
in the skimmer every month. Aerator
blocks are available from your dealer.
Remove the right screw of the iQ13 LED
lightning before inserting the skimmer
into the middel chamber of the filtration
system. Install the skimmer as shown.

iQ13
REEF
Good water circulation
To ensure optimal water circulation and
oxygen-rich water, you can install the optional iQ
Spray Bar. It is available from your dealer as an
accessory.
Keep the temperature
under control in the
summer
The aquarium temperature can rise sharply in the
summer, which is harmful to the animals in your
aquarium. You can prevent this by installing an iQube
Vortex Cooling Fan. The fan mounts on top of the pump
chamber and lowers the water temperature by 2 to 4°C.
It is available from your dealer as an accessory.
The right water temperature
The SuperFish Mini heater fits perfectly in the filter
chamber. Place the mini heater at the bottom of the
filter chamber under the filter media. The temperature
is preset at 26° C ideal for all your tropical fish.
Available from your dealer as an accessory.
Aquarium cover
Use the aquarium cover to prevent
evaporation and stop fish from jumping
out of the aquarium.
The cover is available from your dealer
as an accessory.
Feeding your fish
We recommend using a feeding ring if you give your
fish floating food. This prevents food from
entering the filter, which is bad for the water
quality and can cause clogging. Available from
your dealer as an accessory.
