FAQs

Can I use this aquarium for saltwater setups?

While the tank and filter are high quality, verify that the lighting spectrum and materials meet the specific requirements of your desired saltwater inhabitants.

How often should I clean the M300 heater?

Check the heater sleeve periodically for mineral buildup. Clean it gently with a soft cloth and vinegar solution if necessary.

Are the cabinet doors reversible?

No, the cabinet is designed specifically with the hardware and soft-close mechanisms in fixed positions.

Is the lighting waterproof?

The lighting is water-resistant, but it should not be submerged in water.

Does the set include filter media?

Yes, the Fluval 307 filter included with the kit typically comes with essential media to get your biological cycle started.

What is the total weight of the aquarium when full?

A 252L tank filled with water, gravel, and decor can exceed 300kg; ensure your floor is rated to handle this weight.

Troubleshooting

Water flow is reduced from the filter

Check if the intake strainer is clogged with debris or if the filter media needs a rinse in tank water.

Bluetooth light won't connect to the app

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and restart the light unit by unplugging it from the power for 30 seconds.

Soft-close doors aren't closing smoothly

Adjust the tension screws on the cabinet hinges to realign the doors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before setting up the tank, ensure your floor is perfectly level and capable of supporting the full weight of 252 liters plus substrate, rock, and equipment.

Assembly: Construct the cabinet first on a level surface, ensuring all cam locks are tightened securely.
Plumbing: Install the through-base connectors carefully; ensure the provided O-rings are seated correctly to prevent leaks.
Equipment: Connect the 307 filter, ensuring the intake and output nozzles are positioned to promote water circulation across the entire tank length.
Maintenance: Perform monthly cleanings of the canister filter media. Wipe the glass with a non-abrasive sponge and use a damp cloth for the cabinet exterior, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the laminate or soft-close hinges.
