Product Usage Instructions

Tank Setup

The tank should be positioned close to a PowerPoint, but not too close to prevent water from coming into contact with the PowerPoint.
Choose a position away from direct sunlight and cold drafts to avoid excessive algae growth.
Rinse the tank and components (gravel, plants, etc.) with fresh water only. Do not use soaps or detergents as they could be harmful to your fish.
Place the tank on a flat-level surface, avoiding positioning it on top of other electrical appliances.

Fish Introduction

Fish suitable for this tank are small fish such as tetras or 1 betta fish.
Do not add fish immediately after setting up the aquarium. A minimum of 72 hours of cycling is required to allow chemicals and pollutants to dissolve in the water and for good bacteria to grow in the tank.
Use a water treatment such as an aquarium conditioner (not included) when adding tap water to the tank. Follow the instructions on the packaging for proper usage. Before adding fish to the aquarium, float the new fish in the bag provided for an hour to adjust the water temperature.
For tropical fish and goldfish, it is recommended to use a 50W heater (not included) to maintain a steady temperature.
For goldfish, a general guideline is to have 11 liters of water in the tank for every 2.5cm of goldfish length.

Filter Adjustment
The filter can be adjusted using the flow regulator knob (refer to Figure 4) to avoid harming small fish species.

Aquarium Maintenance
Water health and color will determine how often the tank requires maintenance. Generally, maintenance should be carried out every 2-3 weeks.

Clean the sponge and carbon filter with water taken from the tank to ensure that good bacteria from the tank are added to the new filters. It is recommended to replace the sponge and carbon filter monthly.
Clean the pump and filter cartridge under tap water. 25% of the water should be changed every month and filled with tap water treated with aquarium conditioner.
To ensure optimal performance, clean the impeller of the pump every 6 months. Slightly bend the cartridge to separate the impeller housing from the pump. Remove the impeller assembly and clean it under tap water, then reassemble.

Additional Information
Always unplug the filter from its main power supply before undertaking any maintenance, ensuring the plug remains dry.

INCLUDES

1 x plastic tank with cover
1 x LED light installed on the cover
1 x USB adaptor
1 x aquarium pump with filter

NOTE

Fish that are suitable for this tank would be small fish such as tetras or 1 betta fish.
Do not add fish immediately into the aquarium after setting up. A minimum of 72 hours of cycling is required in the aquarium prior to introducing fish. This 72-hour period allows for any chemicals and pollutants to be adequately dissolved in the water, along with producing good bacteria to grow in the tank. A water treatment such as aquarium conditioner (not included), must be used when adding tap water to the tank. Read instructions on packaging for how to use it.
Before adding fish to the aquarium, float your new fish in the bag provided for an hour, so that the water temperature in the bag is the same as that in the aquarium.
The filter can be adjusted using the flow regulator knob, see Figure 4, to avoid harming small fish species.
A 50W heater (not included) is recommended for tropical fish & goldfish to keep a steady temperature

Instructions

The tank should be positioned close to a PowerPoint, but not too close, to prevent water from coming into contact with the PowerPoint.
Choose a position away from direct sunlight and cold drafts. Too much sunlight can result in excessive algae growth in your aquarium.
Rinse the tank, and components (gravel, plant, etc., not included) with fresh water only. Do not use soaps or detergents as these could be harmful to your fish. (Fig. 1)
Place the tank on a flat-level surface. Don’t position the tank on top of other electrical appliances (e.g. fridge). Remember, once the tank is filled with water, it becomes very heavy, and moving the tank could result in damage to the tank.
Fill the tank with water to the maximum line indicated. (Fig. 2)
Remove the filter cartridge from the aquarium pump, wash the sponge and carbon cartridge under normal tap water, and then put it back into the cartridge. (Fig. 3)
The aquarium pump should be positioned at or just above the water level. Secure the filter to the tank, using the suction cups provided. (Fig. 4)
Once the filter is secured, plug the filter into your PowerPoint, and then turn it on.
To light up your aquarium, touch the on icon located on the top (Fish also require sufficient rest; we suggest the LED light to be left on only for a maximum of 6 to 12 hours per day) (Fig. 5). The LED light
setting sequence is as below. To switch the LED, touch the on icon for 3 seconds.

AQUARIUM MAINTENANCE

Water health and color will determine how often the tank requires maintenance. Generally, maintenance should be carried out every 2-3 weeks.

Clean the pump and filter cartridge under tap water.
25% of the water should be changed every month and filled with tap water. Tap water should be treated with aquarium conditioner.
To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to clean the impeller of the pump every 6 months. (Fig. 7)
- Slightly bend the cartridge; the impeller housing will come apart from the pump.
- Remove the impeller assembly and clean it under tap water, then reassemble.
