Set Up Instructions
correct level and, if using synthetic salt mix,
add water conditioner any time new water is
added to the aquarium.
12. Ensure all power cables are dry and plug
the light, heater and powerhead cables in at

13. It may take a few days for the protein
skimmer to function correctly. It is important
to check the skimmer in this time and adjust
the water level as needed. To do this, turn
the water level adjustor clockwise to raise the
water level and anticlockwise to lower it.
Maintenance
DAILY:
Feed your fish as per instructions on your fish
food container.
Check temperature
Ensure all equipment is running correctly.
Ensure there is sufficient water in the aquarium.
When the water level drops due to evaporation
the return pump will begin to suck air, resulting
in fine bubbles being distributed through
the aquarium. When topping up evaporated
water, always use dechlorinated tap water or
suitably filtered water. When water evaporates
from the aquarium, salt remains in the water
so topping up with salt water will increase the
salinity of the aquarium. Check salinity after
topping up.
WEEKLY:
Test water parameters including pH, ammonia,
nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, carbonate hardness
and specific gravity (salinity). If you are keeping
coral or other sensitive marine animals you
may wish to perform further testing. Seek
advice from your marine aquarium specialist.
Use quality test kits, Aqua One have a range
of test kits (sold separately) which will allow
you to easily and accurately monitor your
water quality.
