3. Mode d'emploi

The AquaMiracle filter offers several adjustable features to optimize your aquatic environment:

• Contrôle du débit d'eau : A flow regulator is integrated into the filter design. Adjust this regulator to customize the water flow rate according to the specific needs of your fish or other aquatic inhabitants.
• Réglage de l'aération : The air venturi and tubing provide oxygenation. To achieve the best aeration, use only one water outlet and ensure the filter is not positioned too deep in the water. The bubble control on the air tubing allows you to regulate the amount of air introduced.
• Dual-Nozzle Output: The filter comes with two nozzles to distribute water in two directions, enhancing overall water circulation within the tank.
