5. Maintenance

• Filter Media Replacement: The filter media (filter cotton) can be easily replaced by opening the top cover. Regularly check and replace the filter media to maintain optimal water quality.
• Water Changes: Perform partial water changes (e.g., 25-30% of the tank volume) weekly to remove accumulated waste and replenish essential minerals. Always use dechlorinated water.
• Tank Cleaning: The high-transparency glass allows for clear viewing. Use an aquarium-safe cleaner or scraper to remove algae from the glass as needed.
• Sponge Filter: The intake is equipped with a sponge filter to prevent small fish from being accidentally sucked into the pump. Clean this sponge regularly to ensure proper water flow.
• Humidifier Tank Cleaning: Periodically clean the humidifier's separate water tank to prevent mineral buildup and maintain hygiene.
