Kawalan Lampu LED

The LED light is controlled by a touch-sensitive switch. Tap the switch to cycle through different modes (e.g., day, night, off). The 7000 K LED is designed to enhance plant growth and fish colors. Note that the light's touch-start feature means it may not automatically resume its previous setting if power is interrupted by an external timer. Manual re-activation may be required.

Pelarasan Aliran Air

The multi-directional dual outputs allow you to customize the water flow within the aquarium. Adjust the nozzles to direct the flow as desired, ensuring adequate circulation without creating excessive currents for your specific aquatic inhabitants.

Penyelenggaraan

Regular maintenance is crucial for a healthy aquarium environment.

1. Water Changes

Perform partial water changes (e.g., 25% weekly or bi-weekly) to remove nitrates and replenish essential minerals. Always use dechlorinated water that matches the aquarium's temperature.

2. Penyelenggaraan Penapis

  • Mechanical Foam: Rinse the mechanical foam filter weekly in old aquarium water (not tap water) to remove trapped debris. Replace every 2-4 weeks or as needed.
  • Karbon Teraktif: Replace the activated carbon pouch every 2-4 weeks. Activated carbon absorbs impurities and odors but becomes saturated over time.
  • BioMax Biological Media: This media houses beneficial bacteria and should only be rinsed gently in old aquarium water if it becomes excessively clogged. Avoid harsh cleaning or replacement, as this can disrupt the biological filtration.
