ATTENTION!
Damage to the aquarium due to improper
cleaning.
 For cleaning purposes, use only special
cleaning products which are suitable for
aquaria or clean water.
 Use only clean water.
 Use soft cloths or sponges (e.g. Tetra
EasyWipes).
 Rinse the tank out with clean, lukewarm tap water.
 Check whether the tank is leaking.
 If the tank is leaking, drain the tank and exchange
it at your retailer.
 If the tank is leaktight, drain it.
In the wild, goldfishes and betta live in bodies
of water without strong currents. A current is
generated in the tank due to the waterfall in
the CascadeGlobe aquarium. The effects of the
current on the fish can be reduced by the
arrangement of the decoration in the tank.
 Distribute the decoration material in the tank so
that the waterfall hits the decoration material.
This settles the current caused by the waterfall.
