Setting Up Your Juwel Aquarium; The Juwel Filter System Bioflow - JUWEL Aquarium RIO 125 Instruction Manual

Setting up your JUWEL Aquarium

In order to set up your aquarium and to prepare it for its intended use, please follow the
following guidelines.
1. Make up the appropriate JUWEL Aquarium cabinet.
2. Place the aquarium in its chosen location.
3. Ensure that the filter system is set up according to the instructions as described in this
manual.
4. Place your substrate in the bottom of the aquarium and plant as desired.
5. Fill the aquarium with room temperature water slowly through the filter to the red fill
line indicated inside the aquarium - Important - do not over fill!
6. Connect the powerhead and heater and complete by placing the light unit and flaps on
the top of the aquarium.
7. For tropical set-ups, allow the aquarium to reach the desired temperature prior to the
addition of livestock.
You can add a few hardy fish after only a few days since you will need some livestock to
start the filter maturation process. The filter can take between 6 and 8 weeks to fully
mature. Should you choose to add further livestock during this period, then this should
be a gradual process.

The JUWEL filter system Bioflow

The JUWEL filter system Bioflow is a highly effective biological filter system with two
stages that includes components complementing each other in an ideal manner.
Installing the filter in the aquarium makes hose connections unnecessary and prevents
leaks. The pump output is not negatively affected by hose couplings, intake tubes etc.
The capacity of the pump is designed in such a manner that an ideal level of biological
filtering is ensured by a sufficient level of percolation through the filter material.
In that context, the large filter volume ensures excellent mechanical filtering and
facilitates long cleaning intervals.
The construction of the filter system enables you to quickly access the individual heater,
pump, and filter media components. This way, the filter system may comfortably be
operated during cleaning and while performing maintenance work.
