2 ආරක්ෂිත තොරතුරු
Always observe basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. This includes:
- Ensure the aquarium is placed on a sturdy, level surface capable of supporting its full weight when filled with water.
- කිසිදු උපකරණයකට හානි වූ ලණුවක් හෝ ප්ලග් එකක් තිබේ නම්, හෝ එය ක්රියා විරහිත වී ඇත්නම් හෝ කිසියම් ආකාරයකින් වැටී හෝ හානි වී ඇත්නම් එය ක්රියාත්මක නොකරන්න.
- To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the aquarium to one side of a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug.
- A 'drip loop' should be arranged for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The drip loop is the part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water from traveling along the cord and coming into contact with the receptacle.
- Never pull the cord to unplug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
- භාවිතයේ නොමැති විට, කොටස් පැළඳීමට හෝ ඉවත් කිරීමට පෙර සහ පිරිසිදු කිරීමට පෙර සෑම විටම අලෙවිසැලකින් උපකරණයක් ගලවන්න.
- මෙම උපකරණය ගෘහස්ථ භාවිතය සඳහා පමණක් අදහස් කෙරේ.

4. පිහිටුවීම
Follow these steps for the initial setup of your Fluval Flex aquarium:
- ස්ථානගත කිරීම: Choose a suitable location for your aquarium. Ensure the surface is strong enough to support the weight of the filled aquarium (approximately 90 lbs for 9 gallons of water plus substrate and decorations). The location should be away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts.
- සේදීම: Rinse the aquarium glass, filter media, and any decorations thoroughly with clean water. Do not use soap or detergents.
- පෙරහන් මාධ්ය ස්ථාපනය: Install the provided filter media into the rear filter compartment. The typical order is: Foam (mechanical) first, followed by Activated Carbon (chemical), and then BIOMAX (biological). Refer to the diagram below for correct placement.
- පොම්ප ස්ථාපනය: Place the circulation pump into its designated section within the rear filter compartment. Ensure the multi-directional dual outputs are correctly attached and positioned.
- Substrate and Decorations: Add your chosen substrate (gravel, sand) and decorations.
- Filling the Aquarium: Carefully fill the aquarium with dechlorinated water. Leave a small gap from the top edge to prevent overflow.
- බල සම්බන්ධතාවය: Connect the power adapter to the LED lighting system and the circulation pump. Ensure a drip loop is formed for all electrical cords. Plug the power adapter into a suitable electrical outlet.
- මූලික මෙහෙයුම: The pump and lights should now be operational. Allow the filtration system to run for at least 24-48 hours before introducing any aquatic life to allow the water to stabilize.

6. නඩත්තු කිරීම
සෞඛ්ය සම්පන්න ජලජ පරිසරයක් සඳහා නිතිපතා නඩත්තු කිරීම ඉතා වැදගත් වේ.
- ජල වෙනස්කම්: Perform partial water changes (25-30%) weekly or bi-weekly, depending on your aquarium's inhabitants and bioload. Always use dechlorinated water.
- පෙරහන් මාධ්ය පිරිසිදු කිරීම/ප්රතිස්ථාපනය:
- Foam Filter Block: Rinse the foam block in old aquarium water during water changes to remove trapped debris. Replace every 2-4 weeks or when visibly degraded.
- සක්රිය කාබන් ඇතුළු කිරීම: Replace activated carbon every 2-4 weeks. Carbon absorbs impurities and medications but becomes saturated over time.
- BIOMAX Insert: Rinse BIOMAX media gently in old aquarium water only when necessary to remove excessive sludge. Do not replace biological media unless it is severely degraded, as it houses beneficial bacteria.
- Aquarium Cleaning: Clean the interior glass surfaces regularly to remove algae buildup. The easy feed top cover opening facilitates access for feeding and minor cleaning tasks.
- පොම්ප නඩත්තුව: Periodically check the circulation pump for blockages and clean the impeller if necessary to ensure optimal water flow.
7. දෝශ නිරාකරණය

- වළාකුළු පිරි ජලය:
- නව ටැංකි සින්ඩ්රෝමය: Common in new setups. Allow the biological filter to establish (cycling process). Avoid overfeeding.
- අධික ලෙස පෝෂණය කිරීම: Reduce food quantity.
- Insufficient Filtration: Check if filter media is clogged and clean/replace as needed. Ensure the pump is operating correctly.
- Reduced Water Flow from Pump:
- Check for blockages in the pump intake or impeller. Disassemble and clean the pump.
- Ensure filter media is not excessively clogged.
- දුරස්ථ පාලකය ප්රතිචාර නොදක්වයි:
- Replace the batteries in the FLEXPad remote.
- Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the infrared sensor on the aquarium canopy.
