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 sh 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 (QubiQ 15 Led ± 25 kg, QubiQ 30/QubiQ 30 Pro ± 40 kg,
QubiQ 60 Pro ± 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, rst 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).
Install the supplied lter cartridge into the compartment, make
sure you click the cartridge rmly in the lter box. If the lter
cartridge is not properly installed, you risk over owing the
aquarium!
The lter helps to keep the water healthy, you need to clean it
weekly. Pull the cartridge gently out of the lter compartment and
rinse it with clean tap water.
The lter cartridge contains Crystal Clear, this absorbs harmful
substances from the water. It's important you replace the
cartridge monthly. Always disconnect the lter from the mains
when replacing the cartridge.
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
nish lling 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.
