Frequently Asked Questions - Capri 60 Led Ferplast

How to install my Capri 60 LED aquarium?

Place the aquarium on a solid and level surface. Install the BluWave filter inside using the suction cups. Fill with water, add BLUSTART and wait 10-12 days before introducing the fish.

What is the recommended lighting duration?

Light the aquarium for about 8 hours per day. Reduce to 7 hours if algae proliferate, increase to 9-10 hours if plants lack light.

When can I introduce the first fish?

Wait for the filter to mature, which is 10-12 days after adding the BLUSTART activator. Check the water parameters before introducing the fish.

How to clean the BluWave filter?

Rinse the mechanical sponges every 2-3 weeks in clear water. Replace them every 6 months. Clean the pump every 6 months by removing the rotor and removing deposits with a soft brush.

How often to change the water?

Replace 5 to 10% of the water with demineralized water at least once a month. Add demineralized water to compensate for evaporation.

What to do in case of a leak?

Immediately unplug the aquarium. Contact a qualified technician. Do not attempt to repair the silicone yourself. Check that the unit has not been damaged during transport.

Are the LEDs replaceable?

No, the LED lights are not designed to be replaced. If defective, contact Ferplast customer service.

How to adjust the heater?

Turn the indicator on the heater head to the desired temperature. For a tropical freshwater aquarium, set to 25-26°C.

What types of fish can I put?

The aquarium is suitable for tropical freshwater fish. Consult your dealer to choose species suitable for the aquarium size (60 liters). Do not overstock.

Where to buy spare parts?

Spare parts (sponges, rotor) are available from Ferplast specialized dealers. Use original parts to guarantee performance.

PRELIMINARY WARNINGS

• Check that all parts are undamaged (lights, heater, glass and plastic parts, etc.). Ferplast uses strong, secure packaging and checks each aquarium individually, but we recommend you also check that no accidental damage has occurred during transport, storage or sale which could affect its watertight seal and safe use.
• Ensure that the voltage shown on the all electrical components corresponds to that of your home electrical power supply.
• The aquarium is intended only for indoor use.
• Before switching on make sure your home is protected by an automatic safety breaker switch (or individual breaker plug) with an operating current of no more than 30 mA.
• Do not connect the aquarium to the power supply before correctly completing all the installation procedures, including filling with water.
• Always disconnect all appliances from the electric power supply before carrying out any maintenance.
• Remember that the protection of the lights from water and dust is guaranteed only when the fluorescent tubes are correctly inserted and the ring nuts perfectly tightened.
• The light must never be submerged.
• The power cable has Z-type wiring, so if damaged it must be replaced by a qualified electrician.
• All special maintenance work must be carried out by a qualified electrician. 'Special maintenance' means any kind of work not included in the paragraph 'MAINTAINING THE CAPRI AQUARIUM' and 'MAINTAINING THE BLUWAVE FILTER'. 'Qualified electrician' means any qualified member of the register of installer.
• Never remove the heater (if present) from the water when it is connected to the electric power supply. Before removing the heater, disconnect it and leave it to cool inside its housing for at least 5 minutes.
• Check that the filter intake grilles are not blocked.
• Always ensure that the water level stays above the minimum level and below the maximum; both are marked on the front of the BLUWAVE filter. Remember that the water level should always be between the MIN and MAX levels, both shown on the front of the BLUWAVE filter and always at 1.5 cm distance from the lamp.
• Do not damage the silicone cord with scissors, pliers, brushes or scrapers.
• Do not use detergents, solvents or chemical products (descaler, ammonium-based

products, etc.) to clean the glass, as they could damage the silicone, causing it to become detached (possibly some time later).

• Do not use adhesives or adhesive tape near the silicone when applying backgrounds.
• Moreover, you should always use a spirit level to make sure that the aquarium is placed on a perfectly flat surface in both directions (length and depth), so as not to break the glass or damage the silicone.

CAPRI LED: DISCOVERING ITS GREAT QUALITIES

1 LED light
2 Lamp switch
3 Hatch
4 Top cover (can be completely removed from the tank, tested for being totally watertight (IP67))
5 Snap-off plugs
6 Internal integrated filter system BLUWAVE, equipped with:

A heater (to adjust it, just re-set the selector on the top of the heater to the required temperature);
B BLUPOWER pump;
C double water intake;
D adjustable circulation jet.

The BLUWAVE filter ensures 3 filtration stages:

E mechanical filtration (two, easily removable, independent baskets containing two sponges for mechanical filtration);

F biological filtration;
G adsorbent filtration (sponge soaked in active carbon).

POSITIONING THE CAPRI LED AQUARIUM

• The aquarium should be placed on a solid flat base with a smooth even surface.
• Position the aquarium in a protected area not exposed to direct sunlight (which could cause overheating and a proliferation of algae), away from sources of heat (e.g. heating radiators), cold air and drafts.
• Position the aquarium away from electrical equipment that could be wet by splashes of water.
• Connect the plugs to your electric power supply leaving a loop in the cable below the electrical socket to prevent drops of water running down the cable and into the power supply (7).
  • We recommend using a Ferplast Stand, especially designed to support a CAPRI LED aquarium, ensuring a solid, smooth even surface (8).

SETTING UP THE CAPRI LED AQUARIUM

1 Position the internal BLUWAVE filter inside the tank in the preferred position (sideways or backwards) using the special suckers or some silicone (we recommend using BLU 9015 silicone by Ferplast).
2 Ensure that the ring nuts on the LED lights are tightened.
3 Furnish the aquarium according to your taste (your local aquarium shop will be able to help and advise you).
4 Set the required heater temperature (where fitted) according to the type of fish and plants used (e.g. for freshwater tropical fish the average temperature is about 25-26 °C).
5 Put 1 capsules of BLUSTART (bacterial activator) in the first BLUWAVE filter compartment.
6 Only now connects the plug to the electric power supply and check all the equipment is working correctly. In case of problems, contact your retailer.

7 If live plants are being used, we recommend laying about 1 cm of fertilized gravel on the bottom of the tank and 2 cm of gravel. Fill the aquarium by pouring water onto a flat dish placed on the bottom to prevent the material used to create the base from being moved about.
8 We recommend lighting the aquarium for about 8 hours a day: if there are signs of excessive algae development, reduce the lighting to 7 hours; if the plants have difficulty growing, increase to 9–10 hours.
9 To care for and protect your fish, it is strongly advised to wait until the filter has matured: the first fish should only be introduced 10-12 days after the addition of BLUSTART filter activator capsules. Before doing so, it is in any case advisable to check the readings and chemical levels of the water using the special MULTISTICK TESTER by Ferplast. Your local retailer will be able to advise you on the ideal water temperature, hardness etc., according to the type of fish and plants you have decided to keep in your CAPRI aquarium. It is advisable to repeat these tests regularly.
10 During the filter maturing period, add a small quantity of dry food each day: this will help the formation of bacterial flora.
11 When adding the fish, insert the remaining BLUSTART filter activator capsules in the first filter compartment.
12 We recommend not putting too many fish into the aquarium all at once, but building up to the maximum population gradually.
13 Your retailer will be able to advise you on the choice of fish to keep in your CAPRI LED aquarium, the quantity and type of food to use and the feeding frequency.

The main maintenance procedures we recommend, in addition to the daily provision of food and regular checking of the temperature and chemical levels, are:

• siphoning the bottom when required using the special aquarium gravel cleaner BLU 9025/9027 on sale at your local retailer;
• adding demineralised water to replace that which is lost by evaporation. Remember that the internal filter must always be submerged;
• replacing 5 - 10% of the water with demineralised water at least monthly;
• replacing the LED lamps is not necessary. On the contrary, it is necessary in case of fluorescent ones,
  • cleaning the inside of the aquarium using floating magnetic brushes BLU 9031/9036/9038/9039 designed by Ferplast.

The main maintenance procedures we recommend are:

A Rinsing all the mechanical filtration sponges at least every 2-3 weeks (9);
B Replacing the mechanical filtration sponges at least every 6 months;
C The effect of the adsorbent sponge ceases in about 2-3 weeks; we therefore advise, if necessary, replacing it with a Ferplast replacement sponge available from leading retailers or leaving it in the filter to perform a mechanical function. In any case, it should be changed at least every 6 months (10);
D During periods when the fish are being treated with a solution added to the water for illness or disease, the adsorbent sponge should be removed from the filter (so this does not reduce the beneficial effects of the treatment). When the treatment is over, we recommend putting in a new sponge;

E Always keeping the filter intake grilles clean;

F Checking the pump at least every 6 months and cleaning it when necessary in the following way:

• unscrew the filter top;
• remove the pump unit, adsorbent sponge and return pipe from the filter, pulling it upwards (10 a);
• remove the pump from the return pipe, remove the front section and remove the rotor (11);
• remove any lime scale or impurities with the soft brush BLU 9037 (never use detergents or chemical substances);
• re-assemble the unit following these instructions in reverse.

G The biological materials should not be washed. Therefore, we suggest never removing them from the filter so they retain their active bacterial properties.
