Installation
The "Slimskim" is designed to be positioned inside the aquarium using the supplied magnet + suction-cup
supports (for glass/acrylic up to 10mm/3/4" thick). It' s adaptable and is the ideal solution for aquariums that do
not have a sump.
After assembling the product, please proceed as follows:
Choose where to position the skimmer inside the aquarium, remember to clean the surface (both inside and
outside the aquarium) carefully so the magnet+suction-cup support can stick properly.
Position the skimmer, as suggested n g. 22, so that the water level is at the mid-height of the grid to guarantee
adequate surface aspiration.
Position the collection cup adjusting the o-ring as suggested in g.23.
Connect the pump to the electrical supply.
The following instructions on regulating water level and air ow are only indicative for the start up of the skimmer.
It will then be up to the Fishkeeper to adjust the system to better t speci c needs (tank size, stocking, foam, etc).
IMPORTANT: the skimmer needs to run at least 3/7 days before it starts foaming properly and the
setting becomes nal. It is possible to notice some air bubbles that enter the aquarium through the
drainage, this is normal, and they will disappear once the skimmer reaches it' s operating balance.
Regulation
COLLECTION CUP REGULATION:
For aquariums with heavy stocking or for dark foam/skimate, lift the collection cup and lower the o-ring
gradually as shown in gure 23b
For aquariums with normal stocking or for light foam/skimate lower the collection cup by lifting the o-ring
