Important Safeguards
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
-
Read and follow all safety instructions and important notices in these instructions as well as on the product itself.
-
This appliance is not intended for use by children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
-
To avoid possible electric shocks, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations do not attempt repairs yourself. Return the appliance to an authorised service facility for service or discard the appliance.
a. If the appliance or any electrical component of the appliance (non-immersible equipment only) falls into the water or gets wet, do not reach for it. Unplug it and then retrieve it.
b. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source.
c. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts which are not intended to be wet.
d. Do not operate the appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning, or dropped or damaged in any manner.
-
A "drip loop" (see graphic) should be arranged for each cable connecting an aquarium to a power supply. The drip loop is the part of the cable below the level of the power supply. It prevents water travelling down the cable and coming into contact with the power supply. If the plug or the socket does get wet, do not unplug the appliance. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies the power to the appliance, then unplug and examine for presence of water in the socket.
-
Always unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, before any type of maintenance or cleaning.
-
Never yank the cable to pull it from the socket. Pull the plug carefully to disconnect.
-
Do not use the appliance for reasons other than the intended use. The use of attachments that are not
recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause the product to be unsafe. This is not recommended.
-
Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to weather or temperatures below freezing.
-
Make sure any component mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
-
Ensure input voltage is the same voltage as your local power supply.
-
If an extension cable is used it should have the proper rating. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped or pulled.
-
A G.F.C.I (Ground fault circuit interrupter) & surge protector is recommended for all electrical appliances.
-
Ensure your hands are dry when turning the power switch on/off and when inserting/removing the power cable from the socket.
-
If you are in any doubt about the electrical installation or safety of this product you must consult a qualified electrician.

-
Select the location for your aquarium. Avoid direct sunlight and areas where temperatures fluctuate greatly such as in front of heaters and air conditioners.
-
Place the aquarium on a flat, level surface. We recommend the use of an Aqua One aquarium cabinet.
-
Lift the filter lid of the aquarium, this will allow access to all parts of the aquarium including the light and filter.
-
The filter comes assembled and no setup is required. However, check all pipes are connected securely and the filter media is in the correct position as per the diagrams on the previous page.
-
Wash aquarium gravel. Place a portion of gravel in a bucket, run water through and churn the gravel until the water running out of the bucket is clear. Repeat this until all the gravel is washed.
-
Place the gravel into the bottom of the aquarium.
-
Place any rocks, ornaments or plants into the aquarium.
-
If the aquarium is to be used for tropical fish, place the heater in the aquarium. Follow the instructions provided with the heater to set up and install the heater.
-
Fill the aquarium with water. The water level should be below the plastic frame on the inside of the aquarium but high enough that the water level is not visible when the aquarium is running.
-
Add water conditioner to the water, follow the directions on the label.
-
Close the filter lid.
-
Ensure your hands are dry and plug the power cords into a power outlet. Drip loops as described in the important safeguards section of this instruction booklet must be used.
-
Once the unit is turned on at the power outlet the filter should automatically start
-
To switch on the light unit use the switch located on top of the filter lid.
Tips
It is recommended that for freshwater aquariums, the filter is run for at least 5-7 days before fish are added. This allows the filter to cycle and establish a population of beneficial bacteria which break down waste in the aquarium water.
Check the water parameters such as pH and kH. If you are unsure what the levels should be for your fish, seek advice from your aquarium retailer.
Allow at least a week between fish additions. This allows the biological filter to adjust to cope with the additional waste.
Remember, all fish will grow. When selecting fish, make judgements based on the maximum size the fish will grow, not simply based on the size the fish is at the store.
Consult your local aquarium retailer for advice on stocking your aquarium.
