FAQ

Some advises to set up the aquarium.

  • Fill the aquarium by pouring water onto a dish placed on the bottom to prevent thematerial used to create the base from being moved about. In general, it is advisable to mix tap water with about 50% demineralised water for aquariums;
  • Set the required heater temperature according to the type of fish and plants used (e.g. for freshwater tropical fish the average temperature is about 25-26°C).
  • Put 1 (for CAYMAN 50, 60 and 80) or 2 capsules (CAYMAN 110) of BLUSTART(bacterial activator) in the first BLUWAVE filter compartment.
  • Set the required lighting period with the timer (if included) and only now should you connect the plug to the electric power supply and check all the equipment is working correctly. In case of problems, contact your retailer. We recommend lighting the aquarium for about 8 hours a day;
  • Before arranging the plants in the aquarium, we recommend waiting at least one day to allow time for the heater to stabilise the required water temperature.
  • To care for and protect your fish, it is strongly advised to wait until the filter has matured: the first fish should only be introduced 10-12 days after the addition of BLUSTART filter activator capsules. Before doing so, it is in any case advisable to check the readings and chemical levels of the water using the special MULTISTICK TESTER gauge which allows you to check 5 main parameters simultaneously: NO2, NO3, KH, GH and pH. It is advisable to repeat these tests regularly.
  • During the filter maturing period, add a small quantity of dry food each day: this will help the formation of bacterial flora.
  • When adding the fish, insert the remaining BLUSTART filter activator capsules in the first filter compartment.
  • We recommend not putting too many fish into the aquarium all at once, but building up to the maximum population gradually.
