11 LIGHTING
All the lights in CAYMAN aquariums have been specially designed to
produce the best conditions for fish and plants. The electronic power supply,
with water-surface lights and reflector dish, ensures the correct lighting
for the aquarium with maximum safety, ease of use and maintenance.

Electronic lighting guarantees:
• Electricity savings in compliance with European Directive 2000/55/EC
on the use of power supplies for low energy consumption fluorescent
lighting;
• Longer tube life.
• More stable light: more similar to sunlight with none of the typical flickering
FR
of traditional lighting.
• Superior quality light: it remains constant almost to the very end of the
tube's life.
• Lower temperatures: electronic lighting produces less heat.
• Higher safety: when the fluorescent tube burns out, a sophisticated
D
electronic protection system cuts off the power and renders the equipment
completely safe.
• Less weight: electronic lighting systems are much lighter.
12 CAYMAN SOFTWARE
All tanks (except for CAYMAN 40 CLASSIC/COLOURS/PLUS/OPEN models)
are provided with the very useful AQUARIUM SOFTWARE CD, specifically
NL
developed by a team of Ferplast experts to help install a freshwater or
marine aquarium without making mistakes. The software is divided into
three parts and is constantly updated and expanded at each edition. Apart
from helping to choose favourite fish, it enables to receive information on
any incompatibility among species and finally offers practical advice on how
to resolve many possible inconveniences encountered when installing and
ES
maintaining an aquarium.
SETTING UP
SK
• For CAYMAN models: remove the sucker from the back of the filter (it is only
there to secure the filter during transport). Position the filter at the side or
back of the aquarium, as you prefer, sliding it along the special guides on the
frame of the cover until you hear a click (5).
• It may be necessary to open the rear filter cover during installation (2) in
CS
order to:
- take the pump and heater cable from the special cable winder;
- pass the cables through the cover in the CLASSIC versions.
• Ensure that the ring nuts on the lights are tightened (6).
• Attach the thermometer inside of the tank in a visible position.
• Decorate the aquarium as you please (your local retailer will be able to help
HU
and advise you).
• Fill the aquarium by pouring water onto a dish placed on the bottom to
prevent the material 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; however, this percentage may vary according to the
chemical contents of your tap water (get advice and the right amount of
SV
demineralised water from your retailer).
• 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
DA
(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: if there are
RU
signs of excessive algae development, reduce the lighting to 7 hours; if the
plants have difficulty growing, increase to 9-10 hours. 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.
