Yes, the included 300W heater is detachable, allowing you to set and control the water temperature as needed for your specific aquatic environment.

While the tank comes with built-in filter and air pump, you can integrate additional or alternative equipment if desired, provided there is space and proper setup.

How do I clean the curved glass?

Troubleshooting

Water is cloudy or discoloured

Check and clean your filter media, perform a partial water change (25-50%), and ensure you are not overfeeding your fish.

Heater is not maintaining desired temperature

Verify the heater is fully submerged and plugged into a working power outlet. Ensure the thermostat setting is correct. If still not working, the heater may need replacement.

Air pump is not producing bubbles

Check that the air pump is plugged in and running. Inspect the air line tubing for kinks or blockages, and ensure the air stone is not clogged. Clean or replace as needed.

LED lights are not turning on

Ensure the power cable for the lighting system is securely plugged into an outlet. Check if the switch is in the 'on' position. If individual bulbs are out, they may need replacement.

Cabinet feels unstable or wobbly

Ensure the cabinet is placed on a completely flat and level surface. Adjust the fitted feet on the cabinet base until all corners are evenly supported and the unit is stable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Placement: Select a sturdy, level surface capable of supporting the full weight of the tank when filled with water (approx. 300kg + tank/cabinet weight).
Cabinet Assembly: Assemble the matching matt black cabinet according to the provided instructions. Ensure the fitted feet are securely attached and adjusted for stability.
Tank Placement: Carefully place the aquarium onto the assembled cabinet, ensuring it is centred and stable.
Equipment Installation: Install the built-in filter, air pump, and detachable 300W heater according to their respective guidelines. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and away from water.
Lighting: Connect the LED lighting system within the lid. The bulbs are pre-fitted, but check connections.
Cycling: Before adding fish, perform the crucial "cycling" process to establish beneficial bacteria, which can take several weeks. Consult an aquarist for guidance on this vital step.

Compatibility

This versatile aquarium is compatible with:

Freshwater Fish: Ideal for community tanks, cichlids, or large schooling fish.
Tropical Fish: The 300W heater maintains optimal temperatures for a wide range of tropical species.
Marine Fish: Suitable for marine setups, though additional specialized equipment (e.g., protein skimmer, live rock) may be required depending on the species.

Care

Daily: Feed fish, check water temperature and equipment function.
Weekly: Perform a 10-25% partial water change, clean visible algae from glass, check filter media for blockages.
Monthly: Deep clean filter media (rinse in old tank water), gravel vacuum (if applicable), test water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH).
General: Wipe down the exterior of the tank and cabinet with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the lid's gaps for hoses and cables remain clear.
