 Page 12 12 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS Never attempt to move a full or partially full PICOTOPE. Never lift by grabbing the aquarium walls.Never use cleaners that contain ammonia to clean the glass surfaces. Always lift and carry the PICOTOPE from underneath giving support tothe bottom at all times. CHOOSING A LOCATION Find a leveled surface that can support the weight of the tank, water, and livestock. An average aquarium can weigh 10lbs per gallon once filled with water, rock, gravel, and other accessories. Do not place in direct sunlight to prevent excessive algae growth and higher water temperatures. FILLING THE TANKAlways dechlorinate tap water before adding into the aquarium. Always fill with room temperature water. Rinse Activated Carbon which is located in the rear filter compartmentunder the sink for 30 seconds or until water runs clear. Fill the main body of the PICOTOPE until water reaches the bottom of the clamp for the light fixture. Once PICOTOPE is filled, plug PICO pow-erfilter power cord into an approved electrical outlet with a fuse or cir-cuit breaker. Once filter is on, water will enter intake strainer through the filtrationmedia and return back into the tank. ADDING A HEATER ( not included)If you wish to keep tropical (warm water) fish you will need a submersi-ble heater to maintain optimal water temperatures to simulate their natural environment. Most tropical fish will need a temperature rangebetween 74-78 F for optimal living conditions. A heater can be placed in the main body of the PICOTOPE behind accessories such as decorations, plants, or rocks.We recommend a small 100% submersible 25-50 watt heater if neces-sary. Note:Evaporation occurs faster in smaller tanks that have open tops. Please check water level regularly to ensure filter is functioning properly --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 13 13 Your PICOTOPE has an innovative set of telescoping arms that can be extended and retracted to meet your specific lighting needs. The tele-scoping arms can be adjusted 180 degrees from front to back. Please careful not to handle the fixture during operation. Light fixture may be warm to hot and should not be adjusted until time has been allowed to properly cool down. Never allow water contact on any part of the Clamp on Lamp. Never service the light fixture while fixture is plugged into an electrical socket.
