- Adjust the Lighting: Place the LED light so that the tank has the right amount of light to show off the betta’s colors.

- Test the Setup: Make sure everything works right by running the tank with water and the light on for a few hours before adding the fish.

- Change the Lighting and Decorations: Make any changes you need to the lighting and decorations in the tank to give your betta the best setting possible.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
- Regular Water Changes: To keep the water quality high, change about 25 to 30 percent of the tank’s amount of water every week.
- Clean the Tank: Use aquarium-safe tools to gently clean the glass and any decorations to keep the tank clear and stop algae from growing.
- Check Water Parameters: Make sure the temperature, pH, and other parameters of the water stay in the right range for betta fish by checking them often.
- Replace the LED Light: If the LED light goes out or dims, you can make sure it stays lit by replacing it with a bulb that works with it.
- Check the Pedestal Base: Look for any signs of damage or weakness on the pedestal base and make sure it stays in place.
- Clean the Filter (if Using One): If you are using a filter, make sure it is clean or change it as needed to make sure the water flows properly and filters well.
- Not Giving Your Betta Too Much Food: Only give your betta the amount of food that the manufacturer recommends. Giving it too much food can damage the water quality.
- Remove waste: To keep the water clean, regularly remove any food that hasn’t been eaten or other waste from the tank.
- Check for Leaks: Check the tank and all of its parts for signs of damage or leaks on a regular basis.
- Change the lighting: For the best tank lighting, make sure the LED light stays in the right place and is clean.
- Replace the Cover: Make sure the cover stays on tight so the fish don’t jump out and the water temperature stays the same.
- Check the Health of the Fish: Keep an eye on your betta for any signs of illness or stress, and if you see any, take the right steps.
- Adjust the Water Levels: Keep the water level steady and add water as needed to make up for what evaporates.
- Check Electrical Parts: If necessary, check any electrical parts, like fans or filters, to make sure they are working properly.
