FAQs

How often should I change the water?

It is recommended to change approximately 25% of the water every week.

How do I clean the aquarium?

Use a soft cloth to wipe the exterior. For the interior, use an aquarium-safe algae scraper to remove algae from the acrylic.

How often should I replace the filter cartridge?

The filter cartridge should be replaced every 4-6 weeks, or as needed.

Can I use tap water?

Yes, but you must use a water conditioner to remove chlorine and chloramine.

What kind of fish can I keep in this aquarium?

This aquarium is suitable for small, freshwater fish species. Research the specific needs of the fish before introducing them.

What is cycling and why is it important?

Cycling is the process of establishing beneficial bacteria in the filter that breaks down harmful waste. It's essential for a healthy aquatic environment and the well-being of your fish.
