3. Instruccions de configuració
- Desembalatge i inspecció: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the tank and all parts for any damage. Do not proceed with setup if any components are damaged.
- Col·locació: Choose a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts. Ensure the surface can support the weight of the filled aquarium (approximately 15 lbs when full).
- Esbandida: Rinse the aquarium tank, gravel (if using), and any decorations thoroughly with clean, cool water. Do not use soap or detergents, as residues can be harmful to aquatic life.
- Gravel and Decorations: Add a layer of rinsed aquarium gravel (approximately 1-2 inches deep) to the bottom of the tank. Arrange any rinsed decorations or artificial plants as desired.
- Instal·lació del filtre:
- Insert the Whisper 3i Filter cartridge into the filter housing. Ensure it is seated correctly.
- Position the filter unit inside the aquarium, typically on one of the back walls, ensuring the intake is submerged and the outflow is directed appropriately.
- Connect the air tubing from the filter to an air pump (sold separately, if not included in your specific kit variation).
- Omplir el dipòsit: Slowly fill the aquarium with dechlorinated water. Use a plate or plastic bag on the gravel to minimize disturbance. Fill to approximately 1 inch below the top edge of the tank.
- LED Light Setup: Attach the LED light fixture to the designated slot on the aquarium lid. Plug the low voltage power converter into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Encès: Plug in the air pump (if applicable) and the LED light. Ensure all components are functioning correctly. Allow the filter to run for at least 24 hours before introducing any aquatic life to allow for water circulation and initial conditioning.
4. Instruccions de funcionament
Funcionament diari:
- Alimentació: Feed your fish small amounts once or twice a day. Do not overfeed, as excess food can degrade water quality.
- Il·luminació: The LED light provides illumination. Establish a consistent light cycle, typically 8-10 hours per day, to mimic natural conditions and prevent excessive algae growth.
- Observació: Regularly observe your fish for any signs of stress or illness. Check water temperature and ensure the filter is operating smoothly.
5. Manteniment
Regular maintenance is crucial for a healthy aquatic environment.
Manteniment setmanal:
- Canvi d'aigua: Perform a 25% water change weekly. Use a gravel vacuum to remove debris from the substrate while siphoning water. Always use dechlorinated water for refills.
- Prova d'aigua: Periodically test water parameters (e.g., ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH) to ensure they are within safe ranges for your aquatic inhabitants.
Manteniment mensual:
- Substitució del cartutx de filtre: Replace the Whisper 3i Filter cartridge monthly. A clogged filter cartridge can lead to reduced filtration efficiency and potential overflow. This is a critical step for maintaining water quality and preventing issues.
- Neteja de filtres: Gently rinse the filter housing and any non-replaceable filter media in old aquarium water (siphoned during a water change) to preserve beneficial bacteria. Do not use tap water, as chlorine can kill these bacteria.
- Neteja de tancs: Clean the inside surfaces of the tank with an aquarium-safe scrubber to remove algae buildup.
