This instruction manual has been carefully prepared to provide you with accurate

Important:

The use of additional air stones or air lines is not necessary with the JUWEL
Aquariums. If an air stone is used, this should always be placed in the middle of
the aquarium. Capillary leaks resulting from the use of these items will not be
accepted as a fault with the aquarium.

Do not transport or move your aquarium while still containing water or sand.
Always take care not to damage the seals while maintaining your aquarium.
Do not use toxic substances to clean your aquarium.

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.

Place the aquarium directly on the designated base. The aquarium is centred at the
rear edge of the base. Do not use additional pads.

Perform the following steps when putting the aquarium into operation:

1. Arrange the inspected aquarium in a suitable place.

2. Prepare the filter for operation as described in the chapter "Putting the JUWEL filter
Bioflow Mini into operation".

3. Complete the decoration with ground material etc. as desired.

4. Plant the short plant species in the aquarium if applicable.

5. Slowly fill the aquarium with water and plant taller plant species in it if applicable.

6. Connect the pump and any other devices that are supposed to be operated in the
water to the power grid.

7. Install the cover light as described in the chapter "Cover light system JUWEL
Violux".

8. We recommend introducing invertebrate or special fish species for the Nano fish
keeping in steps. You may put in the first animals after a few days. These also ensure
that the biological filter develops. The run-in period of the filter may last 6 - 8 weeks.

The JUWEL filter Bioflow Mini

The JUWEL filter Bioflow Mini is a highly effective biological filter system with
components that are harmonized among 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 pump capacity is dimensioned in such a manner that the biological filtering is
ensured by a sufficient flow through the filter material in an ideal manner.

The construction of the filter system enables you to quickly access the individual pump
and filter medium components, facilitating comfortable operation while cleaning and
maintaining the filter system.
