Acclimation of Aquatic Life:

Introduce specimens into your new aquarium using the LiveAquaria® Step-by-Step Acclimation & Planting Guides.

Maintaining your Aquarium:

To ensure the well-being of aquarium inhabitants, it is essential to maintain your aquarium. At the very minimum, perform water changes. Remove 20% of the water once a week and replace it with fresh water that is of similar temperature to your tank (with chlorine removed if tap water is used).

Change the filter media every two weeks minimally, or more frequently if needed, following the directions in the operating manual received in the aquarium packaging.

Lighting: LED lighting has a very long life and does not have to be changed frequently. However, when it does need to be changed, refer to the instructions in the Operating Manual.
