Assembly
d. Once you have identified all the components and made sure they have not been damaged, rinse all
components under clean fresh water to remove any dust or residue (do not use any detergents). Most
components are pre-assembled with the packaged Solana, so it is critical that you identify the location
of each component and its assembly before removing parts for cleaning. Allow all parts to dry before
proceeding with assembly. The pre-filter sponge (B), NanoBall bags (L), and Filter Pad (N) can all be
rinsed under freshwater as well. For best performance, do not remove NanoBalls from the nylon mesh
bags they come in. Do not rinse the Activated Carbon (M) until the Solana has been cycled and is ready for
fish, corals, etc. to be added. When rinsing carbon, remove from plastic bag and rinse with freshwater.
Step . Assembling your Solana
Before proceeding with the setup of your Solana, make sure that the base or stand that you are placing
the Solana on conforms to the requirements in step 1.
a. Place the cleaned Solana Aquarium onto the aquarium stand. Keep the glass top off and in a safe
location throughout the installation. Use a level to ensure that the Solana is situated evenly.
b. Place the pre-filter sponge (B) into the pre-filter skimmer chamber as shown (Figure A )
c.
Attach the airline (G) to the air intake connection on protein skimmer pump (F).

d. Attach the protein skimmer pump (F) into base of protein skimmer body (C) and place the
skimmer assembly positioned correctly into the protein skimmer chamber of the Solana (Figure B).
It may be necessary to hold the protein skimmer pump in place by gently pulling the power cord
upward when placing the protein skimmer into the filtration section. Route the airline and power
cord from the pump through the opening at the right-side base of the protein skimmer body and up
.
through the top of the filtration section (Figure B).
