Návod k obsluze
The SICCE XSTREAM 3500 Wave Maker is designed for continuous operation to maintain optimal water movement in your aquarium. Once installed and powered on, the pump will immediately begin circulating water.
- Adjusting Flow Direction: The magnetic mount allows for easy 360° rotation of the pump. Adjust the direction of the water flow to eliminate dead spots, direct debris towards filtration, and create natural currents for your aquatic inhabitants.
- Benefits of Water Movement: Consistent water movement helps to oxygenate the water, distribute nutrients, and prevent the accumulation of waste and debris on the substrate and decorations. This contributes to a healthier and more stable aquarium ecosystem.
Observe your fish and corals to ensure the flow is appropriate for their needs. If fish appear stressed or are struggling against the current, consider repositioning the pump or adjusting its angle to reduce direct impact.
