4. Attach flexible tubing and elbow to pump outlet. Slide pump into the return chamber and
connect outlet tube to nozzle inlet.
6. Make sure the aquarium is placed on a firm, level surface in a location that has plenty of
ventilation. If placing next to a wall, allow 3"-4" of space between wall and back of tank.
7. Before turning on aquarium, ensure the following:
a) The powercords are plugged into a grounded GFCI outlet
b) Water level is above level of the submersible pump.

A. Dual Actinic - Blue color light which emits a spectrum of both 460nm and 420nm blue
light. SunPaq Dual Actinics provide the necessary wavelength for corals and invertebrates.
B. Dual Daylight - White color light which emits a spectrum of both 6,700K & 10,000K white
light. SunPaq Dual Dayights provide the necessary wavelength for plants and photosysnthesis.
Cooling fan also works in conjunction with this light.
C. LED Lunar Lights - Nocturnal Blue Lunar Lights are used for night-time viewing of
inhabitants and aid in spawning of corals and other invertebrates.
Important Safety:
All cords MUST be

MAINTENANCE
Warning - Always unplug all electrical components when performing
maintenance.
1. Cleaning of algae from inside of tank glass could be required every few days or more
depending upon water quality. Always use an aquarium sponge or scraper, never use any
type of soap or other cleaner.
2. Routine water changes should be done once every 2-4 weeks. A gravel siphon (purchased
at the local fish store) should be used to gently clean the substrate and siphon 20% of old
water. Replace with only with DECHLORINATED water. If the tank is setup as a marine
tank, ensure that water being replaced is salt water at the appropriate salinity.
3. The sponge filter should be removed from the tank once every 2 weeks and gently rinsed to
remove dirt and debris. Replace after cleaning.
4. If using biomedia, never wash or clean under chlorinated water. If cleaning is required,
remove media from filter and place in a small bowl of DECHLORINATED water. Gently
wash in bowl and replace.
5. Once every 6 months, remove pump and clean inside impeller. Bacteria can often build-up
and slow flowrate down.
6. Once per year, remove and replace compact fluorescent lamps. Always replace using SunPaq
brand lamps to ensure the high lumen output required for most organisms.
