in the cabinet are aligned with them. The 2
openings in the tank bottom glass are complete
with factory-installed special plastic fittings, which
must never be removed, turned or loosened
and with 2 sealing plugs (P) and (Q). The output
group should be installed in the opening (O),
whereas the intake group should be installed in
the opening (I).
Do not force, loosen or turn the
factory-installed special fittings on tank
openings (I) and (O).
Once the output/intake groups are installed, do not shift the tank with respect to the cabinet as this may damage the
output/intake devices and the glass tank.
Output system installation
1. Manually unscrew plug (P) and remove plug (Q) from opening (O) (Pict. 1).
IMPORTANT: keep plugs (P) and (Q) for any future use.
2. Slip connector stem (A) fully through opening (O) until it stops (Pict. 2).
3. Open the cabinet. Screw and tighten the ring nut (R) onto the bottom end of stem (A)
(Pict. 3).
4. Insert the output nozzle (N) into one end of output stem (B).
5. Insert output stem (B) onto connector stem (A) (Pict. 4).
6. Adjust the height of output nozzles according to your requirement by sliding outlet
stem (B) along connector stem (A).
7. The output nozzles (N) can be easily rotated to divert the water flow where desired.
Direct water jets so as not to let water overflow from the tank. Avoid directing the
water jets towards the LED Strip Light.
Intake system installation
1. Manually unscrew plug (P) and remove plug (Q) from opening (I) (Pict. 1).
IMPORTANT: keep plugs (P) and (Q) for any future use.
2. Slip the second connector stem (A) fully through opening (I) until it stops (Pict. 2).
3. Open the cabinet. Screw and tighten the nut ring (R) onto the bottom end of the second
stem (A) (Pict. 3).
4. Insert the intake strainer (S) onto connector stem (A) (Pict. 5). The assembly end result
is shown on Pict. 6 and Pict. 7.
The height of the intake strainer is high enough to suit most standard aquarium
decorations. When decorating the aquarium, ensure it remains at least 5 cm from
the gravel bottom at all times to prevent it from sucking gravel or sand and ensure
that no decorations block the passage of water. Ornaments and rocks should be
positioned while the aquarium is still dry.
CAUTION!: Never force Connector Stems (A) sideways, as this may damage the
output/intake systems and the glass tank. In the event a different filtration system
is used, which does not require the Intake/Output systems supplied with this unit
(e.g. an internal filter), restore the initial conditions by removing the 2 connector
stems (A) and closing openings (O) and (I) with plugs (P) and (Q). Plug (Q)
ensures a watertight seal and has to be inserted into its seat by pressing it. Plug
(P) is designed to protect plug (Q) and ensure that plug (Q) remains in its seat
properly. Screw plug (P) by hand only until it will no longer go without forcing it.
DO NOT USE ANY TOOLS, AS DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT.
