Top up water reservoir outlet connector – Remove the outlet connector by rotating it anti-clockwise. Pass
the grey tube through the cut-out in the aquarium base and attach it to the hose-barb of the outlet. Before
returning the outlet to the reservoir, ensure that the O-ring is in place. Rotate the outlet connector clockwise
firmly to ensure a good seal.
Top up water in-line flow valve and float valve - During installation set the flow valve in the fully closed
position and the float valve to give the lowest water level in the pump chamber.
Piping - Ensure that the O-rings are in place before connecting the universal connectors for the piping.
During installation it is recommended to set the sump piping valves in the closed position. They should only
be opened after the downstream equipment such the skimmer or chiller has been installed.
Main Pump – install the 32mm (1½") elbow on the inlet of the pump so that water intake is from the
bottom of the sump. Pass the power cable through the cut out at the top rear left corner of the sump
compartment.
Skimmer – Ensure that the skimmer shelf is installed in the sump with the rubber side up. Full installation
and operation instructions for the C-Skim 1800 protein skimmer are provided in a dedicated instruction
manual. Initially set the air valve on the skimmer to the closed position. Pass the power cable through the
cut out at the top rear left corner of the sump compartment.
Carbon - Wash the carbon filter material under running water several times to remove residual dust. It is
recommended to soak it in water for 24-72 hr. before usage otherwise during the first 3 days after set-up
the carbon may float and release micro air bubbles from inside its pores.
