Set up as an external skimmer on the aquarium - hang on (Fig. 3):
Assemble the necessary parts of the skimmer (see Fig. 1). Now, it can be attached to the
aquarium. Look for a protected place within easy reach - at the side or the back. The venturi pump
is connected with the pressure hose (Fig. 1, No. 10). The length of the flexible hose should be as
short as possible. The pump must be placed directly below the surface because the air intake will
decrease and the water flow will increase if it is mounted deeper. This would lead to humid foam.
A 6-mm air tube is connected to the air injector (Fig. 2, No. 9) and fixed above the water level so
the pump can draw in air. Use the full length of the air hose which is attached to the sound
absorber (Fig. 1, No. 13). This will be connected to the holding plate and fixed at the outside above
the water level.
Now, the skimmer can be aligned with the aquarium. The two spacer bolts at the bottom of the
skimmer are adjusted in such a way that the skimmer is hanging safely on the aquarium. It is
advantageous if the skimmer is not 100% upright but leaning slightly (2°) to the aquarium (Fig. 3).
The skimmer is not only hanging more safely then but also back-flow of water from the outflow box
over the aquarium frame is prevented.
Both adjusting screws at the bottom are supplied with silicone suckers for increased safety. The
skimmer is now ready for use and can be started.
