Aquarium Guidelines
MAINTENANCE
Warning - Always unplug all electrical components when performing
maintenance.
1. Cleaning of algae from inside of tank glass could be required every few days or more
depending upon water quality. Always use an aquarium sponge or scraper, never use any
type of soap or other cleaner.
2. Routine water changes should be done once every 2-4 weeks. A gravel siphon (purchased
at the local fish store) should be used to gently clean the substrate and siphon 20% of old
water. Replace only with DECHLORINATED water. If the tank is setup as a marine tank,
ensure that water being replaced is salt water at the appropriate salinity.
3. The sponge filter should be removed from the tank once every 2 weeks and gently rinsed to
remove dirt and debris. Replace after cleaning.
4. If using biomedia, never wash or clean under chlorinated water. If cleaning is required,
remove media from filter and place in a small bowl of DECHLORINATED water. Gently
wash in bowl and replace.
5. Once every 6 months, remove pump and clean inside impeller. Bacteria can often build-up
and slow flowrate down.
6. Once per year, remove and replace PowerPaq HQI lamp. For removal, please read the
instructions included with your Sunpod fixture.
