IF USING THIS UNIT WITH PHOSPH TE REMOVING MEDI
1. If using phosphate removing media we highly recommend that it is GENTLY rinsed
before use to remove excess dust etc.
2. Please Note: The water flow to the filter must be carefully adjusted to ensure that
the phosphate removing media is not being fluidised too vigorously and that the media
is only gently fluidised. Failure to do so could result in over-abrasion of the phosphate
removing media and fine particles or dust being passed into the aquarium or sump.
3. Check regularly that the filter is functioning properly and the phosphate removing
media is being fluidised correctly i.e not too vigorously, and that the phosphate
removing media is not clumping together.
4. Replace phosphate removing media according to instructions provided with the media.
