FAQs

Can I use this in a saltwater tank?
This ornament is designed for freshwater (tropical and coldwater) environments and is not recommended for saltwater use.
Will this affect my tank's pH or water quality?
No, the ornament is chemically inert and will not alter your water parameters.
How do I remove algae from the ornament?
Gently scrub it with a soft brush or sponge in a bucket of tank water during your regular maintenance.
Does it require batteries or electricity?

Troubleshooting
The ornament is drifting too high or too low.
Adjust the length of the tether attached to the suction cup to better regulate its depth.
The suction cup keeps detaching from the glass.
Thoroughly clean the aquarium glass surface where the cup attaches to remove any biofilm or algae buildup.
The ornament is being pushed against the filter intake.
Reposition the suction cup anchor further away from the filter intake or reduce the intensity of the water flow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your ornament, first rinse it under plain tap water to remove any dust from packaging. Locate the included tether and suction cup; attach the suction cup to the base of the tank (or the side glass) and tie the tether to the attachment point on the genie. Adjust the length of the string to achieve your desired height. For care, avoid using harsh chemicals or soaps when cleaning the ornament, as these can leave residues harmful to fish. If algae growth appears, gently scrub the surface with a soft, dedicated aquarium sponge during your routine water change. Periodically check the tether for signs of wear to ensure the genie remains secure.
