SuperFish Home 15 Warranty And Manual page 4

Setting up your aquarium:
Choose an appropriate location for the aquarium. The location should be relatively dark, for example
in the corner of a room. The aquarium should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Too much light will
lead to unwanted algae and may harm the fish and plants in the aquarium as a result of overheating.

Place aquarium on a smooth, horizontal surface with an adequate
load-bearing capacity. Do not place the aquarium on electrical
appliances or on furniture with surfaces which are liable to staining
by water. Please note. The total weights of the set up: aquaria
completely with water and additives (Home 15: ± 35 kg, Home 25:
± 35 kg, Home 40: ± 50 kg, Home 60: ± 70 kg, Home 80: ± 90 kg).
Clean the aquarium and accessories thoroughly with clean tap
water and rinse the aquarium completely clean. Never use
cleaning products or alcohol and always use a perfectly clean
bucket. Cover the bottom with clean aquarium gravel of your
choice. For plant aquariums, first add a nutrient substrate and
then cover it. When placing heavy rocks into the aquarium, they
must have support, like foam eg, otherwise the rocks could cause
breakage of the aquarium (no warranty coverage).
Fill the aquarium slowly with clean tap water of around 20°C.
Place a plate or glass beneath the water stream to prevent
dislodging of the gravel or nutrient substrate. Add water until the
aquarium is half full, place the plants in the aquarium, and then
finish filling the aquarium.
We recommend initially covering around 80% of the bed surface
area with plants. Include some fast growing stem plants, these
will help to prevent the growth of algae.
For tropical fish you need to use an aquarium heater, the Home
design incorporates* a space in the filter area where you can
install the heater. The SuperFish NanoHeater 50 W is a perfect
choice for the Home 15 and 25, the Combi-Heater 100 W for the
Home 40 and 60 and the Combi-Heater 150 W for the Home 80.
To install the heater; take of the light unit and feed the heater
cable through the space provided. * The Home 15 has no filter
box, the heater can be fitted loose inside the aquarium.
First carefully read the heater manual before usage!
