FAQs
How often should I clean the tank?
A partial water change should be performed weekly, and the filter cartridge should be replaced every 4 to 6 weeks.
Can I keep goldfish in this tank?
No, goldfish require significantly more volume and filtration than an 11-litre tank can provide.
Does the tank include a heater?
No, the standard SuperFish ORBIQ 11 does not come with a heater, though one may be added if keeping tropical species.
What kind of fish are suitable for 11 litres?
This tank is best suited for a single betta fish or a small colony of shrimp.
Is the LED light dimmable?
The lighting system operates on a touch-control basis; please refer to the specific model manual to see if your version includes dimming features.
Troubleshooting
Water appears cloudy
Cloudiness is often caused by overfeeding or bacterial blooms. Reduce feeding amounts and check if the filter media needs a gentle rinse.
Pump is making a noise
Check to ensure the pump is fully submerged and that no debris is obstructing the intake or the impeller.
LED light not turning on
Ensure the power adapter is firmly connected to the outlet and the touch control is being pressed correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the ORBIQ 11, place the tank on a level, sturdy surface capable of supporting the weight of the water. Ensure the base is placed securely. Connect the integrated filter pump according to the manual, ensuring the water level stays within the recommended range. Care for the aquarium involves a weekly partial water change of about 10-20% to keep parameters stable. Replace the activated carbon cartridge every 4-6 weeks to ensure the water remains clear and free of odors. The ceramic media generally requires a gentle rinse in old tank water only when it becomes clogged with debris, as this is where beneficial bacteria reside.
