FAQs

How often should I change the water?

Perform a 25% water change every 1-2 weeks.

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean or replace the filter media every 2-4 weeks, depending on the bioload.

What kind of fish can I keep in this aquarium?

The 57L capacity is suitable for small to medium-sized freshwater fish. Research the specific needs of your chosen species to ensure compatibility.

How do I use the remote control?

Point the remote at the receiver and use the buttons to select colors and special effects for the LED lighting.

What is the warranty?

Refer to the product documentation for warranty details. Typically, Fluval products come with a warranty against manufacturing defects.

How do I cycle the aquarium?

Add a source of ammonia (fish food or ammonia solution) to the water, and monitor ammonia and nitrite levels until they both drop to zero, and nitrate levels rise. This indicates the beneficial bacteria are established.

LED lights are not working.

Check the power connection, and the remote control batteries. Try resetting the remote and the light settings. Check for any damage to the LED unit.

Water is cloudy.

Check filter media and clean or replace it. Perform a partial water change. Ensure proper cycling of the aquarium.
