Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to assemble and install your glass aquarium top:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect each piece for any damage.
2. Attach Plastic Hinge: The plastic hinge connects the two glass panels. Align the hinge with the edges of the glass panels and press firmly to secure them together. Ensure the hinge is fully seated along the entire length of the connection.
3. Attach Pull Tab: The pull tab is used for opening the glass top. Peel the adhesive backing from the pull tab and firmly attach it to the front glass panel in a convenient location, typically centered along the front edge.
4. Position Rear Plastic Trim: The clear plastic trim is designed to sit at the back of the aquarium, supporting the glass top and allowing for equipment routing. Place it along the rear edge of your Imagitarium 5.5-gallon aquarium.
5. Place Glass Top: Carefully place the assembled glass top onto the aquarium, ensuring it rests securely on the aquarium frame and the rear plastic trim.
6. Customizing Rear Trim (Optional): The rear plastic trim can be cut to accommodate aquarium accessories such as filters, heaters, or airline tubing. Use a suitable cutting tool (e.g., a sharp utility knife or small saw) to make precise cuts as needed. Exercise caution when cutting and always cut away from your body.

Operating Instructions

To access the inside of the aquarium for feeding, maintenance, or other tasks, gently lift the front glass panel using the attached pull tab. The plastic hinge allows the front panel to pivot upwards, providing access without needing to remove the entire top.

Ensure the glass top is always securely seated on the aquarium frame when not in use to prevent accidental falls, reduce water evaporation, and maintain the aquarium's internal environment.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning of the glass aquarium top is recommended to maintain clarity and light penetration into the aquarium.

• Use a soft cloth and an ammonia-free glass cleaner to clean the glass surfaces.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the glass or plastic components.
• Periodically check the plastic hinge and trim for any signs of wear, damage, or mineral buildup.

For optimal results, clean the top regularly to prevent mineral buildup and algae growth, which can obstruct light and visibility.

Troubleshooting

Glass Top Does Not Fit

This glass top is designed specifically for Imagitarium 5.5-Gallon Framed Glass Aquariums. If it does not fit, verify that your aquarium is an Imagitarium brand 5.5-gallon framed glass model. Compatibility with other brands or tank sizes is not guaranteed.

Difficulty Cutting Rear Plastic Trim

The rear plastic trim is made of durable material. For easier and cleaner cutting, use a sharp utility knife or a fine-toothed saw. Score the plastic multiple times along the desired cut line before attempting to snap it, or use a saw for a more precise cut. Always use appropriate safety measures, such as wearing protective gloves and eyewear, and cutting on a stable surface.
