SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
•
The power plugs of the electrical devices must not become moist. Connect
the power plugs to the power supply at such a height that the connection
cable forms a loop which would enable the water to drip down.
•
At all times, only operate the electrical devices for your aquarium (lighting,
heater, pump etc.) using an earth leakage circuit breaker (EL circuit breaker)
with a maximum tripping current of 30 mA. If the socket that you are using in
your home installation is not safeguarded with such a circuit breaker, please
use a commercially available power strip with an integrated earth leakage
circuit breaker.
•
The electrical devices may only be operated in rooms.•
Pull the power plug of all devices operated in water before coming into
contact with the water.
•
We have produced your JUWEL Aquarium with the utmost care using most
advanced production techniques. Extra strong packaging has been used to
prevent damage to the aquarium. Please note however, that your aquarium
has been transported and handled several times prior to reaching its final
destination. We recommend therefore, that you test the aquarium for leaks in
a suitable area (e.g. garage), by filling it with water and checking it very
carefully.
Having made your checks, you should select the most suitable and desirable
position for your aquarium. The position selected should have an even and level
surface and should be able to support the weight of the filled aquarium. In order to
prevent excessive algae growth, we recommend that you select a position that is not
exposed to direct daylight.
We strongly recommend that the appropriate JUWEL Aquarium cabinet is used.
They have a water-repellent surface and they have been made to match the
dimensions and to bear the weight of the filled aquarium. The cabinet must be
positioned on a level surface. The JUWEL Aquarium is built with a special bottom
frame for security. The aquarium should be placed directly onto the cabinet. DO
NOT place any additional support, e.g. polystyrene, under the aquarium since this is
not necessary with our
aquariums.

Notice:
TIPP JUWEL Backgrounds
For decorative designs on the rear wall of your JUWEL aquarium, we recommend the JUWEL rear walls and posters for various
sizes of aquariums.
JUWEL rear wall motifs
With an attractive 3D rock motif that creates a powerful impression of depth.
JUWEL textured rear walls
With an attractive and distinctive bark texture.
Juwel Conexo Adhesive
The JUWEL motif and structure back panels are affixed to the rear wall of the aquarium using the special Conexo silicon before
it is filled with water.
JUWEL Posters
JUWEL Posters are printed on both sides and provide attractive motifs to create a simple and highly effective background
design for your aquarium.
JUWEL Poster Fix
JUWEL PosterFix is an oil that will enhance the three-dimensional effect of your film backgrounds. JUWEL PosterFix prevents
unattractive light refraction, thus increasing the colours and structure of your motif to great effect. The poster can be easily
removed.
These JUWEL accessories are available from your specialist retailer.
Please ensure that any air stones or similar aeration devices used are placed in the centre of the aquarium. The use of
such equipment may cause water to splash and condense on the lighting unit and frame, which may then run down on the
outer wall of the aquarium. The occurrence of such effects does not constitute a defect in the product.
•
Do not transport the aquarium when full.•
Make sure that maintenance of the aquarium does not damage the bonding.•
Do not use any toxic substances to clean the aquarium.•

Setting up your JUWEL Aquarium
Perform the following steps when putting the aquarium into operation:
The JUWEL filter system Bioflow
Assemble the cabinet if necessary.1.
Arrange the inspected aquarium in a suitable place.2.
Affix the JUWEL structured backgrounds if necessary, please observe the drying time of between 48 and 72 hours.3.
Prepare the filter for operation as described in the chapter "Putting the JUWEL filter system into operation".4.
Complete the decoration with ground material etc. as desired.5.
Plant the short plant species in the aquarium if applicable.6.
Slowly fill the aquarium with water through the filter to half way up.7.
Plant higher plant species in the aquarium if applicable.8.
Slowly fill the aquarium with water through the filter up to the water level line.9.
Connect the circulating pump and the heater to the power supply.10.
Install the lamp unit and connect it to the power supply.11.
If appropriate, close the aquarium with the designated flaps.12.
We recommend introducing fish in steps. You may put in the first fish (4-5) after a few days. These also ensure that the
biological filter develops. The run-in period of the filter may last 6 - 8 weeks. You may increase the number of fish in steps
during this time.

The JUWEL filter system Bioflow is a highly effective biological filter system with
two stages that includes components complementing each other in an ideal manner.
Installing the filter in the aquarium makes hose connections unnecessary and
prevents leaks. The pump output is not negatively affected by hose couplings,
intake tubes etc.
The capacity of the pump is designed in such a manner that an ideal level of
biological filtering is ensured by a sufficient level of percolation through the filter
material.
In that context, the large filter volume ensures excellent mechanical filtering and
facilitates long cleaning intervals.
The construction of the filter system enables you to quickly access the individual
heater, pump, and filter media components. This way, the filter system may
comfortably be operated during cleaning and while performing maintenance work.

All Bioflow filter systems are delivered with five top-quality
filter media:
1. bioPad – filter wadding (white)
The fleece wadding acts as a mechanical pre-filter. It stops
coarse dirt, such as dead plant parts, from penetrating deeper
into the filter.
2. bioCarb – activated carbon sponge (black)
The sponge containing bound activated carbon removes
toxins from the water, e.g. harmful heavy metals and organic
impurities.
4. Nitrax – nitrate remover (green)
The sponge contains micro-organisms that are able to break
down nitrates. The JUWEL filter offers a particularly good
environment to this end.
5. bioPlus coarse – coarse filter sponge (blue)
The coarse-pored filter sponge in the middle of the filter
causes the biological clarification of the water through the
accumulation of bacterial cultures.
7. bioPlus fine – fine filter sponge (blue)
The fine-pored filter sponges in the lower section of the filter
retain even the smallest suspended particles and ensure
crystal-clear water.
Other optional filter media round off the options that are
available for the optimum use of your JUWEL inside filter:
6. Amorax – ammonium remover
Amorax is a highly efficient filter medium made of natural
zeolite. It quickly and effectively binds ammonium, thereby
preventing the formation of ammonia and promotes the vitality
of your fish.
3. Carbax – highly effective activated carbon
Carbax's excellent absorption properties permanently and
quickly bind discolourations, odours and toxic substances and
ensure crystal-clear water.
6. Cirax – ceramic granules
Cirax is a biological filter medium which creates the perfect
colonisation conditions for useful bacteria, due to its large,
highly porous surface.
6. Phorax – phosphate remover
JUWEL Phorax is a highly effective filter medium used to
break down phosphates in your aquarium. This effectively
reduces the growth of algae and can contribute to improved
plant growth.
