mains water or any cleaning products to clean your media.

The suggested ﬁlter media order is ceramic rings at the bottom, bio balls in the middle and

active carbon at the top with one biochemical cotton in each tray, providing mechanical,

biological and chemical ﬁltration as the water ﬂows up through the media baskets.

Please remember to change your activated carbon at least every 2-3 months as after this

time it is possible that the carbon can have a negative eﬀect on your aquarium as the very

waste it removes can be released from the carbon back into the aquarium.

When cleaning mechanical or biological media, NEVER rinse with tap water or use any

soap or detergent, only your aquarium water. The best time to rinse your ﬁlter foams, bio

balls and ceramic rings through is when doing a 10 / 20% water change as you can use

this water to wash the media through.

When replacing media in your ﬁlter, do not replace more than 50% of your media at

once. This is to ensure that the nitrifying bacteria present in the old media are able to

repopulate in the newly added ﬁlter media.

Draining Your Filter

Should you need to drain your ﬁlter for maintenance or repair purposes, please follow the

steps below:

1. Close the inlet / outlet tap by lifting the lever all the way up. This seals oﬀ the input and

output hosing connections, keeping the vacuum needed in order to restart the ﬁlter

without priming.
