JBL - Proclean Aqua Ex - 20-45 cm - Vase bell for aquarium

How to use Aqua Ex?

Shake the bell, the water flows into the bucket, sucks up the dirt on the soil substrate. Finally, close the shut-off valve.

Use a circular motion to push the bell into the bottom of the aquarium. Bottom substrate and waste are sucked into the bell. When dragged by its own weight, the substrate retracts and only dirt is sucked out of the aquarium. For fine sand, you can lift the bell and adjust the suction force so that even light sand falls by gravity. The sieve built into the bell prevents accidental inhalation of fish and shrimp. The screen can be removed and cleaned.

If the fertilizer is used for a long time under the top layer of gravel (e.g. JBL PROFLORA AQUA BASIS), the cleaning bell should not be pushed all the way down to the ground and should not be deeper than the thickness of the soil substrate.

Why use a bell jar?

Food and plant residues and metabolites contaminate the aquarium water. Aquarium filters cannot completely remove these substances from the water and most waste settles to the bottom of the aquarium, so regular partial water changes (1/3 of the water approximately every 15 days) are required. This change of water must always be combined with the suction of dirt from the substrate. Then it is important to adapt the new tap water to the fish using a good water conditioner such as JBL Biotopol.
