FAQs
Is an air pump included with the product?
No, the air pump must be purchased separately.
Can I use this in a saltwater tank?
While designed for general use, ensure all components are kept clean of salt creep to prevent clogging.
How long is the provided air tube?
The set includes 1.5 metres of air tubing.
Does this product require electricity?
The ornament itself does not require power, but the air pump required for operation must be plugged into an electrical outlet.
Is the material safe for all fish?
Yes, the materials used are aquarium-safe and non-toxic.
How often should I clean the ornament?
Clean it whenever you notice algae buildup or a decrease in bubble output, typically during your monthly water change.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles are not forming under the bridge
Check that the air pump is turned on, the tubing is not kinked, and the diffusor is properly connected.
The housing keeps shifting
Clean the suction cups and the glass surface with an algae pad to ensure a secure, airtight seal.
Airflow is weak
Ensure the air pump has sufficient capacity for your tank size and check the diffusor for mineral deposits or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Underwater River, follow these steps:
- Clean the area of the aquarium where you intend to place the housing.
- Attach the provided suction cups to the acrylic housing.
- Connect the air tube to the flexi diffusor inside the housing.
- Route the air tube through the aquarium to your external air pump, ensuring you install the included non-return valve to prevent water backflow.
- Secure the unit to the base of the tank.
For maintenance, rinse the ceramic bridge and acrylic housing periodically in old tank water during your regular water changes to remove algae or debris that might clog the diffusor. Avoid using soap or chemical detergents, as these can be toxic to your fish.
