G. Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the aquarium from the electricity supply before placing hands in
water, before putting on or taking off parts and while the equipment is being installed, maintained or handled.
When inserting or removing equipment from the water, always pull out all main electricity plugs. Never yank the
cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect. Always unplug an appliance from an
outlet when not in use.
H. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to weather or temperatures below freezing.
FOR INDOOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
I. If the use of an extension cord is necessary, an extension cable with the proper electrical rating should be used.
An extension cable rated for less amperage or wattage than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be
taken to arrange the cable so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
J. Before handling the aquarium tank and cabinet, check their weight in the table on page 1 to assess whether you
have the capability and means to handle them without risk or personal injury.
WARNING. Risk of overheating: do not place any objects on the aquarium or any other appliance connected to the
aquarium at any time. If air stones are used, always keep them in the middle of the aquarium to avoid water leaks
due to capillary action around the top frame.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF
SALTWATER AQUARIUMS
It is commonly known that salt water is far more corrosive, electrically conductive, and generally degrades plastic and
metal parts at an accelerated rate versus fresh water. To minimize salt accumulations on the aquarium, take note of
the following recommendations:
1. Make sure that the filter outputs do not spray above the water surface; position them below the water surface with
a slight downward angle, but allow for surface movement (which contributes to oxygenation).
2. If an air pump must be used, frequent removal of salt deposits will be necessary.
3. Keep the water level as constant as possible (top up regularly to make up for evaporation). This is beneficial in
providing stable salinity and will help protect the canopy.
4. Clean all aquarium components that come into contact with salt water at least every 15 days. Use a wet cloth
(never use chemical products or detergents). Simple lemon juice may be useful for removing calcareous encrustation.
Rinse thoroughly afterward to eliminate acid residue.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The electrical cords of the Strip-Lights and the heater can exit the aquarium through the rear openings in the
aquarium top frame.
