Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use. All appliances are suitable for indoor use only. Do not install or store the appliances where they will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled. The connection should be carried out by a qualified electrical installer. This is not a toy. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Before handling the aquarium tank and cabinet, check their weight in the table on page 4 to assess whether you have the capability and means to handle them without risk or personal injury. Vicenza 180 Vicenza 260 Venezia 190 Venezia The drip loop is that part of the electrical cord below the level of the socket (or connector, if an extension cord is used) to prevent water from running along the cord and coming in contact with the socket. If the plug or socket does get wet, DON T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in socket. DRIP LOOP WARNING. Risk of overheating: do not place any objects on the aquarium or any other appliance connected to the aquarium at any time. If air stones are used, always keep them in the middle of the aquarium to avoid water leaks due to capillary action around the top frame. Use a wet cloth (never use chemical products or detergents). Simple lemon juice may be useful for removing calcareous encrustation. For a neat installation, the cords can be supported inside the tank by special clips hooked to the aquarium s internal top rim. Always take care not to damage the seals at the edges of the glass panels while maintaining your aquarium. Never use toxic or aggressive substances to clean your aquarium.http://gillsandgeckos.com/userfiles/fine-pore-aeration-systems-design-manual.xml PLACING THE AQUARIUM WITH ITS CABINET IN THE FINAL LOCATION The location of the aquarium is very important. Place it away from direct sunlight. This will reduce the chances of excessive algae build-up and prevent overheating. Keep the aquarium away from other sources of heat (air ducts, radiators, etc.) for proper temperature maintenance. Drafts should be avoided as well. Do not place the aquarium where water spills will cause damage. The cabinet s dimensions and structure are specifically designed to bear the weight of a completely filled aquarium. Using a different cabinet or support may cause an unsafe condition. The manual is included with the cabinet. If it is missing or unusable, contact the store or Hagen Customer Service to get another copy. The Fluval Aquarium must be placed on the appropriate Fluval cabinet designed for that aquarium. Fluval cabinets are guaranteed to provide a suitably solid and level surface that will not bend or warp. Using any other form of support will invalidate your guarantee. Never attempt to move or transport the Cabinet with the glass tank or any other load on top of it. Remove all contents from the box. Before you begin, identify, count and check that you have all the parts needed for assembly. If any part is missing, do not proceed with the setup and contact the store or Hagen Customer Service. Set up the Cabinet following the Instruction Manual. After completing the assembly, check that ALL parts have been properly used. The aquarium cabinet is made of wood. We recommend keeping all cabinet surfaces dry. VERIFYING THE AQUARIUM GLASS TANK SEALING The aquarium glass tank comes complete with bottom and top plastic frames glued to it. Do not try to remove the top and bottom frames. Although the glass tank was manufactured with maximum care and the most advanced techniques, inspect it carefully to ensure that it was not damaged during handling and transportation. WARNING.http://fscl.ru/content/e34-6-speed-manual Ensure that the selected location can support the total weight of the cabinet and a completely filled aquarium. The selected location should have an even and level surface. Place the aquarium and cabinet close to an electrical outlet. After placing the cabinet, use a spirit level to ensure that it is perfectly level. The cabinet has special feet that can easily be adjusted using the tool supplied with the cabinet. IMPORTANT: Place the aquarium tank directly on the cabinet without any additional support or damper in between. NEVER insert lining between the cabinet and aquarium. If necessary, use the cabinet feet to make the final leveling adjustments. With other systems, the same type of connection is achieved using complexdevices that often require the services of expert technicians. With EasyConnect, the installation is done easily and safely, giving your aquarium a clean and professional look. Before proceeding, identify and count all parts required by referring to the exploded view in the side illustration. If any part is missing, do not proceed with the installation and contact the store or Hagen Customer Service. OUTPUT NOZZLE (N) OUTPUT STEM (B) INTAKE STRAINER (S) 1. Bring the glass tank to an area where any possible water leakage does not pose a problem. 2. Inspect the glass tank for damages or cracks. 3. If there is no damage, fill the tank with water and check for leaks. 4. If no leak is detected, empty the aquarium and proceed with the aquarium installation. Before proceeding, check stems (A) for the presence of all 3 rubber rings (C). Do not proceed with the installation if one of the rubber rings (C) is missing and contact the store or Hagen Customer Service. CONNECTOR STEM (A) The tank is made of glass. Always handle it with the extreme care. Never attempt to move or transport the tank if it is not completely empty of water or any other material.The 2 openings in the tank s bottom glass come complete with factory-installed special plastic fittings, which must never be removed, turned or loosened, and with two sealing plugs (P) and (Q). The output system should be installed in the opening (O), and the intake should be installed in the opening (I). Do not force, loosen or turn the factory-installed special fittings on tank openings (I) and (O). Direct the water jets so as not to let water overflow from the tank. Avoid directing the water jets toward the Strip-Light(s) of the canopy LOCATE THE 2 OPENINGS IN THE TANK S BOTTOM GLASS AND ENSURE THAT THE CORRESPONDING OPENINGS IN THE CABINET ARE ALIGNED WITH THEM. When decorating the aquarium, ensure that it remains at least 5 cm (2 ) from the gravel bottom at all times to prevent it from sucking gravel or sand and to ensure that decorations do not block the passage of water. Ornaments and rocks should be placed while the aquarium is still dry. Plug (Q) ensures a watertight seal and has to be inserted into its seat by pressing it. Plug (P) is designed to protect plug (Q) and ensure that plug (Q) remains in its seat properly. Screw plug (P) by hand only until it will go without forcing it.First unplug it and retrieve it. If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately. B. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage or if the RCD (or GFCI- Ground Fault Current Interrupter) switches off, disconnect the power supply cord from the main power supply and remove the pump from the water. C. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged if there is water on parts not intended to be wet. D. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or it is dropped or damaged in any manner. The power cord of this appliance cannot be replaced; if the cord is damaged, the appliance should be discarded. Never cut the cord. E. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or socket getting wet, make a DRIP LOOP according to the instructions reported in chapter IMPORTANT GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in the Introduction. 3. Close supervision is necessary when any electrical appliance is used near children. Do not allow children to use this appliance. This appliance is not a toy. 4. To avoid injury, do not touch moving parts or hot parts. 5. CAUTION Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the aquarium from the electricity supply before placing hands in water, before putting on or taking off parts and while the equipment is being installed, maintained or handled. Always unplug the appliance from the outlet when not in use. 6. This is an aquarium filter pump. Do not use this pump for other than its intended use (i.e.: do not use in swimming pools, bathrooms, etc.). The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition. Do not use this filter pump in swimming pools or other situations where people are immersed. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing. 8. Make sure that the pump is securely installed before operating it. Do not allow the filter pump to run dry. 9. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with proper rating should be used. The connection should be carried out by a qualified 10.Failure to do so may result in damage to this product.The black lever closes and opens the Aquastop valves. When the black lever is fully up, the valves are fully closed and do not allow water to flow between the filter and aquarium tank. When the black lever is fully down, the valves are fully open and allow maximum water flow between filter and aquarium tank The silver lever locks the Aquastop valve to the canister cover (5). When the silver lever is fully up, the Aquastop valve is disengaged from the canister cover (5). Important: to avoid water spill, the silver lever cannot be operated if the black lever is not fully up. Connect the ribbed hoses (2) to the Aquastop valve (3). Attach the first hose to the IN and the second hose to the OUT connector of the Aquastop valve in the following way: a. Push one end of the hosing onto the valve; push it all the way, as far as it will go. b. Turn the lock nut counter clockwise until it is as tight as you can make it without forcing. WARNING! Avoid forcing the ribbed hoses sideways near the Aquastop and Connector Stem connections at all times to prevent the ribbed hosing from slipping out of these connections and consequently emptying the aquarium. 3. Prepare the Filter IMPORTANT: The Carbon and BioMax media supplied with your Fluval filter have been deliberately placed in the Upper, Mid, and Lower level baskets to indicate their recommended placement for optimal basic filtration. Be sure to note this positioning and place the media in baskets at the same levels as you prepare the filter for use. Always keep the Instant Prime handle in the Down position 1. Remove the foam screen frame, media cover, and media baskets from the filter canister. As you remove Carbon and BioMax from the baskets, note which levels they were packed in. Then remove their outer wrappers; do not remove carbon from porous bag(s). 2. Rinse baskets and media materials under running tap water to remove any dust and place media in baskets. Or, if you prefer, select other media of your own choosing. (See Fluval Advanced Filtration for more information) 3. Place the rinsed and filled media baskets back in the canister and put the media cover back on the top basket. IMPORTANT: Make sure that each media is positioned at the same level it was packaged in, unless you are deliberately choosing a different filtration plan than the recommended basic setup. Never overfill baskets. If the cover or baskets are out of position, the cover (5) may not close properly If the screen does not seem to fit properly, be sure it is not upside down. 5. Complete the canister cover assembly: RUBBER GASKET a. Lay the canister cover on a flat surface with its topside down. Remove the lubricated rubber gasket from its plastic bag. To seal the cover opening properly, the gasket must be moist but it need not be wet. Carefully fit the gasket into the channel around the base of the cover. b. Position the impeller cover over the impeller. Align the shaft so it is seated in the ring on the cover; push down around the entire circumference of the edge until the tabs click into the locked position. 6. Place the cover on the canister. Be sure to position it properly. There is only one orientation possible. Make certain that the MSF logo on the cover and canister is aligned and that the power cord fits into the notch on the rim of the canister. 7. Lock the cover in place: push the double tabs of the lift-lock clamps under the rim; then press the upper tabs firmly against the cover. DO NOT FILL THE CANISTER WITH WATER 8. Place the unit in its final position inside the cabinet. 9. Insert the Aquastop valve into the intake and output connectors on the cover and push down on the silver lever to lock it in place. 10. Keep the Aquastop valves closed with the black lever all the way up. 11.DO NOT PLUG IT IN NOW. The Filter is ready for start-up, but it can be started only after all aquarium accessories have been installed and the filter is full of water. Mechanical filters remove waste particles and solid debris through various kinds of strainers. Biological filters break down and eliminate organic toxins -ammonia and nitrite - through bacterial action. And chemical filters actively change water characteristics through deliberately managed chemical reactions. Fluval offers a wide variety of filter media. Some perform more than one job. The true power of the Fluval system is that it is very flexible, offering a wide range of media and multiple media placement options. The Fluval Stack of Media Baskets The stack of media baskets in the Fluval 05 Series filters enables you to employ all three types of filtration in whatever configuration or sequence you determine is best for your aquarium environment. Filtration always begins at the mechanical stage, where waste particles are removed as water flows through the foam screen, and continues with subsequent biological and chemical stages as it flows up through the media baskets. Because you can use the media of your choosing at each level, you can design a system that provides additional mechanical filtration if you wish. Below you ll find detailed information, as well as general guidelines for media selection and use. General Guidelines Location can determine function. For example, carbon can act primarily as a screen for debris or act more as an environment for growth of beneficial bacteria, depending on where it is placed in the filtration sequence. Proper preparation is key. Some materials, such as Ammonia Remover, require thorough rinsing so that their finest particles do not clog other modules or discharge into the aquarium. For best results and the protection of your fish, always read and follow the preparation instructions for the media you are using. Use mechanical filter media in the first stage of filtration. The foam screen is an effective first stage mechanical sieve. Protect biological media from debris. Biological media provide clean, hard attachment points for beneficial bacteria. For these media to be most effective, they need a constant stream of waste-free water that carries ammonia, nitrite and oxygen. Thus, they are best placed after mechanical filtration and chemical media. Pre-Filter, Carbon, and Zeo-Carb are all options for screening small particles from the water. Pre-Filter is inert, acting solely to create a screen. Carbon removes dyes, medications, and solubilized wastes that a simple screen cannot. Zeo-Carb removes ammonia; it is often used at the beginning of a setup to keep initial ammonia spikes lower than would occur naturally. Mid Level Basket(s) The mid level media basket is useful for chemically modifying water. Peat Granules, for example, will gradually lower the water s ph level. The mid level basket is a good place to begin the biological reduction process. Many media types provide both mechanical filtering and biological treatment, creating an excellent environment for beneficial bacteria to proliferate. Even many chemical compounds will support colonies of bacteria. With the primary mechanical purification of the water stream occurring in the Foam Screen Frame and the lower basket, it is typical to load additional biological media into a Mid Level Media Basket. BioMax, extra Carbon, or Ammonia Remover are commonly used. This is also the place where more exotic media, chosen for a specific application, can be used. Upper Level Basket This basket receives the purest water stream, making it the proper place for dedicated biological media. Placed here, BioMax, for example, provides optimal biological power in a very compact ring configuration. With multiple pores perforating both the surface and the internal matrix, it is an ideal substrate for this position, especially because it has a built-in trap to capture any loose strands that might affect the operation of the impeller. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance. A. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source. B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged if there is water on parts not intended to be wet. C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or it is dropped or damaged in any manner. Never cut the cord. D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or socket getting wet, make a drip loop according to the instructions reported in the chapter IMPORTANT GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in the Introduction. 3. Close supervision is necessary when any electrical appliance is used near children. This appliance is not a toy. 4. To avoid injury, do not make contact with hot parts. 5. CAUTION Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the aquarium from the electricity supply before placing hands in water, before putting on or taking off parts and while the equipment is being installed, maintained or handled. When inserting or removing the heater from the water, always pull out the plug from the main electrical supply and do not pull the equipment out of the water until after it has been allowed to cool for at least 30 minutes. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use. 6. This is an Aquarium Heater. Do not use an appliance for other than its intended use (i.e. do not use this heater on swimming pools, garden ponds, bath rooms, etc.). The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition. 7. This heater is suitable for INDOOR use only. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing. 8. Make sure that the heater is securely installed before operating it. The heater must be immersed in water at least up to the MIN. WATER LEVEL indicated on the heater (but without exceeding the depth of 100 cm). This aquarium heater must never operate out of water. 9. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with proper rating should be used. Generally, the heater should be placed at the rear of the aquarium, preferably near a source of water movement to ensure even and thorough distribution of warmed water. Be sure there are no rocks, decorations or gravel obstructing or touching the heater, as they will cause uneven heating in the glass tube and weaken it. REGULATION KNOB WATER LEVEL INDICATION HEATER MOUNTING BRACKET CAUTION - Water level must be maintained to the level indication on the glass heater tube. Always maintain the water level in the aquarium to compensate for water loss due to evaporation. Heater preparation 1. Set the heater to the appropriate temperature using the Easy-Set Numbered Temperature Dial. 2. Position the heater in the aquarium with the heater mounting bracket attached. Press suction cups firmly against glass to adhere to the aquarium wall. 3. DO NOT PLUG IN NOW. The Heater is now ready for the start-up, but it can be started only after the installation of all aquarium accessories has been completed and the tank is full of water. Ornaments and rocks should be positioned while the aquarium is still dry. Rinse aquarium gravel or marine substrate before placing it at the bottom. In most cases, a 5 10 cm (2-4 ) layer of regular aquarium gravel (or crushed coral in marine environments) is sufficient. Use more if you plan to anchor live plants. It is advisable to slope the gravel downward from the back to the front for the best effect. When decorating the aquarium, ensure that the filter intake strainer sticks out by at least 5 cm from the gravel bottom to prevent the filter pump from sucking gravel or sand. Also be sure there are no rocks, decorations or gravel obstructing or touching the heater. CAUTION! Do not place any rock in direct contact with the bottom glass panel. Always keep at least 5 cm of gravel between rocks and the bottom glass panel. CAUTION! Handle any hard and heavy objects, such as decorative rocks, with extreme care to avoid damaging glass panels. Always avoid knocking them against the glass. CAUTION! Do not heap rocks or heavy decorations against the Output and Intake systems, to avoid forcing the Connector Stems (A) sideways. Place small plants in the aquarium While the aquarium is still empty of water, plant small plants in your aquarium. Ensure that all live plants are firmly rooted in the gravel. Fill the aquarium with water up to half its height and plant the tall plants Fill the aquarium about halfway with water before planting tall plants. The water will help make this easier. To minimize displacing the decorations while filling the aquarium, place a clean plate on the gravel at the bottom of the aquarium then pour the water onto the plate. We recommend filling the aquarium with water that is close to the desired temperature you are trying to achieve. Filling up the aquarium up to the max water level line After the plants are added, fill the aquarium up to the level indicated on the label found on the inside of the aquarium s top frame. IMPORTANT - Do not overfill. Overfilling the aquarium can cause water to pass under the top frame and run down the outside of the aquarium. All Strip-Lights also feature special PVC Reflectors to maximize the light produced by the powerful T5 fluorescent tubes. PVC Reflectors guarantee excellent reflection performance and better light diffusion. Depending on the version, the Strip-Light may feature either a line cord switch or an automatic Electronic Light Timer to switch the light ON and OFF.

Risk of overheating: do not place any object(s) on the Strip-light. Ensure sufficient air space around the Strip-Light. 12. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. For the complete use and understanding of this product it is recommended that this manual is thoroughly read and understood. Failure to do so may result in damage to this product. PREPARING AND INSTALLING THE STRIP-LIGHTS All Aquarium models feature 1 Strip-Light each, with the exception of the Venezia 350, which features 2 Strip-Lights. Each Strip-Light features 2 T5 fluorescent bulbs. The Strip-Light(s) come with T5 fluorescent tubes already installed. WARNING: Though the Strip-Lights come with T5 fluorescent tubes already installed, check that the threaded fittings are fully tightened in the socket, before operating the unit. Ensure that there are no visible threads or gaps between the lamp socket and threaded fittings. Ensure threaded fittings are not cross threaded onto the lamp socket. The threaded fittings must be fully tightened to prevent moisture from entering the socket and corroding the electrical contacts. WARNING: The safety of this Strip-Light is guaranteed provided that both lamps are inserted and that all threaded fittings are properly installed. Replace the Strip-Light(s) first and then place the lids on the top frame to close the aquarium completely. DO NOT PLUG IN NOW. The Strip Light(s) is now ready for start-up, but it can be started only after you have completely installed all aquarium accessories. Before proceeding, verify that the lift-lock clamps are securely closed. Fill the Filter canister with water by opening the Aquastop valve. Push the black lever on the Aquastop valve all the way down. You will hear the aquarium water flushing into the filter canister for few minutes. As water flows into the canister, it will force air out. Air will be expelled into the aquarium causing water to bubble.
