Návod k obsluze

LED osvětlení

The energy-efficient white LED lights are integrated into the hinged hoods. Simply plug them into a power outlet to activate. They create a natural underwater shimmer effect. Use a timer (not included) for consistent light cycles, typically 8-10 hours per day.

Tetra Whisper PF60 Power Filter

Once the aquarium is filled with water and the filter is properly installed, plug in the power filter. It will immediately begin performing mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration to keep the water clean and healthy for your fish.

Tetra Heater

Ensure the 200-watt Tetra heater is fully submerged before plugging it into a power outlet. The heater is designed to automatically adjust and maintain the water temperature at approximately 78°F (25.5°C), ideal for most tropical fish. Monitor the thermometer to confirm the desired temperature is maintained.

Údržba

Výměna filtrační vložky

Replace the Tetra Large Bio-Bag Filter Cartridges approximately every 2-4 weeks, or as needed, to maintain optimal filtration. Always replace one cartridge at a time, waiting a week before replacing the second, to preserve beneficial bacteria.

Změny vody

Perform partial water changes (25% of the tank volume) every 2-4 weeks. Use a gravel vacuum to remove debris from the substrate. Always treat new water with Tetra AquaSafe water conditioner before adding it to the aquarium.

Čištění akvárií

Regularly clean the inside of the aquarium glass with an aquarium-safe scraper or magnet cleaner to prevent algae buildup. Avoid using household cleaners, which can be toxic to fish.
