The Exo Terra Turtle Cliff is a waterfall, basking area and filter in
®
one. Equipped with a Repti Clear terrarium filter, its state-of-the-art
filtering system instantly transforms an aquatic terrarium setup
mounted socket to
prevent water from
dripping onto the
socket or plug. A
"drip-loop" should
be arranged. The
"drip-loop" is that
part of the cord below
the level of the socket
or the connector if
an extension cord
is used, to prevent
into the ideal habitat while providing turtles and other semi-aquatic
terrarium animals with the ideal basking or terrestrial area. The
Turtle Cliff's natural rock texture and colour allows it to integrate
easily into any aquatic terrarium setup.
Installation:
1. Insert filter into cavity in bottom half of Turtle Cliff. Press down
firmly on the filter to ensure the suction cups are fully securing it
place. If additional filtration is required, extra filter material can
be placed in the cavity
2. Position top half of Turtle Cliff onto bottom half. Ensure that
filter's water outlet spout/tube is aligned with outlet hole in
Turtle Cliff.
3. Arrange Turtle Cliff
in desired location in
terrarium. Turtle Cliff
should be placed on
a flat, level surface.
Ensure that the water
suction holes on the
base of the Turtle Cliff
are not blocked or
obstructed.
4. Connect the power
cord to the electrical
outlet. If the unit
does not start
immediately, verify
that the water level is
sufficient to immerse
the filter's water outlet
spout/tube during
operation. If problem
persists, see the "Trouble-shooting" and "Maintenance" sections
of this manual for further information.
