3. Maintenance

3.1 Filter Pad Replacement and Cleaning

The aquarium includes 3 reusable filter pads. Regular cleaning and replacement of these pads are essential for maintaining water quality.

  • Remove the filter pads from their compartment in the pump system.
  • Rinse the filter pads thoroughly under clean water to remove accumulated debris. Avoid using tap water directly if it contains chlorine; use dechlorinated water or water from the aquarium.
  • Replace the cleaned filter pads. If pads are heavily soiled or damaged, replace them with new ones.
  • Perform this maintenance weekly or bi-weekly, depending on the aquarium's bioload and water clarity.

3.2 General Aquarium Cleaning

Regular cleaning of the tank and its components helps ensure a healthy environment for your fish.

  • Water Changes: Perform partial water changes (25-30%) weekly to remove nitrates and replenish essential minerals. Always use dechlorinated water.
  • Algae Removal: Use an aquarium-safe algae scraper to clean the inner surfaces of the tank as needed.
  • Substrate Cleaning: Periodically vacuum the gravel or filter stones to remove trapped waste.
  • Component Cleaning: Clean the pump impeller and other removable parts of the filtration system during water changes to prevent blockages.
