Troubleshooting
Mesh feels stiff or has residue buildup
Soak the net in a bucket of warm water with a mild, fish-safe cleaner or simply rinse thoroughly under running water to clear debris.
Handle grip feels slippery
Ensure your hands are dry before handling, or wipe the plastic coating with a clean, dry cloth to remove any aquarium salt or slime coat residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for the Marina Fish Net; it is ready to use immediately. It is compatible with all standard glass and acrylic aquariums. To maintain the life of the net, follow these care steps:
- Rinse After Use: Always rinse the net with fresh water after using it in saltwater tanks or after removing chemical-heavy debris to prevent residue buildup.
- Dry Completely: Store the net in a cool, dry place. Allowing it to air dry prevents mold or bacterial growth on the mesh fibers.
- Inspect Regularly: Before each use, briefly check the mesh for any fraying or tears to ensure it remains safe for your fish.
