25-26°C).
• 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.
• If using live plants, we recommend laying about 5 mm
of fertilized gravel on the bottom of the aquarium and
covering it with 2-3 cm of grit or gravel. Fill the aquarium
by pouring water into a dish placed on the bottom to
prevent the material used to create the base from being
moved about.
• We recommend lighting the aquarium for about 8 hours
a day: if there are signs of excessive algae development,
reduce the lighting to 7 hours; if the plants have difficulty
growing, increase to 9-10 hours.
• It is advisable to check the readings and chemical levels
of the water using the special testers available from
your retailer, who can also advise you on the ideal water
temperature, hardness etc., according to the type of fish
and plants you have decided to keep in your CAYMAN
OPEN 40 aquarium. It is advisable to repeat these tests
regularly.
• We recommend not putting too many fish into the
aquarium all at once, but building up to the maximum
population gradually.
• Your retailer will be able to advise you on the choice
of fish to keep in your CAYMAN 40 OPEN aquarium,
the quantity and type of food to use and the feeding
frequency.
Maintaining the CAYMAN 40 OPEN
The main maintenance procedures we recommend, in
addition to the daily provision of food and regular checking of
the temperature and chemical levels, are:
1.Siphoning the bottom when required using the special
Ferplast vacuum cleaner on sale at your local retailer.
2.Adding demineralised water to replace that which is lost
by evaporation. Remember that the internal filter must
always be submerged.
3.Replacing 5-10% of the water with demineralised water
at least monthly.
4.Cleaning the outside of the aquarium without detergents
or chemical substances. A sponge soaked in distilled
water with a few drops of vinegar is enough to remove
any signs of lime scale from the glass. Be particularly
careful not to damage the bead of silicone that firmly
bonds the sheets of glass together.
5.Cleaning the inside of the aquarium with Ferplast
magnetic brushes, these are available from your local
retailer.
5.Maintaining the BLUCOMPACT filter according to the
instructions in the enclosed manual.
