Installing and connecting the aerator pump
N O T E
When installing the unit, ensure that it
• is located outside the aquarium
• is not placed on or over the aquarium
• cannot fall into the water or move out of position.
Damage resulting from incorrect installation is not ba-
sis for a claim within the framework of the guarantee
or warranty.
How to proceed:
 D
1. Connect the air hose leading out of the aquarium to
the air connection of the aerator pump and fit the
aerator pump above the subsequent level of the
aquarium water. This prevents water from leaking
or damage to the pump in case the integrated non-
return valve should fail.
2. Connect the power connection cable to the sepa-
rate socket on the plug-in transformer and route it
to form a drip loop.
– Do not yet connect the plug-in transformer to the
mains socket. First complete the start-up prepa-
rations.
Connecting the lighting unit
• See the separately included operating manual.

ing "Water Conditioner" and "Biological Booster".
How to proceed:
 E, F
1. Fill the aquarium with tap water up to about 5 cm
below the cover.
2. Cut open the "Water Conditioner"" bag and sprinkle
the contents into the water.
3. Switch on the aerator pump; after the pump has
been running for at least 24 h, sprinkle the contents
of the "Biological Booster"" bag into the water.
Switching the aerator pump on/off
N O T E
Never operate an air connection by itself, i. e. without
the tube and aerator connected.
How to proceed:
 F
Switching on: Connect plug-in transformer to the
socket. The unit switches on immediately when the
