Maintenance - TMC Next Wave Tank 60 Instructions Manual

CAUTION: To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken when using electrical appliances
near water.
CAUTION: Always isolate the LED lighting system, the water circulation pump, the skimmer and the
heater from the mains electricity before installing or carrying out any maintenance to the Next Wave 60.
1. To operate efficiently, the water circulation pump, the skimmer and the heater must be operated 24
hours a day.
2. For optimum results we recommend that the LED lighting system is operated for up to 10 hours per day.
3. Regularly check to make sure all connections are tightly secured.
4. Check regularly that the protein skimmer is functioning properly and the micro-bubbles and water level
within the skimmer are correct.
CAUTION: Failure to do so could result in water overflowing onto the floor.
5. When the collection cup is full, ensure all waste material is removed and the collection cup is cleaned.
CAUTION: Failure to do so could result in water overflowing onto the floor.
6. Periodically remove the collection cup and clean any organic build up or salt and/or calcium deposits
from the collection cup.
7. Ensure the water outlets on the protein skimmer are clean and free of blockages.
CAUTION: Failure to do so could result in water overflowing onto the floor.
USEFUL TIP: Any blockages or detritus in the main skimmer body should be removed by simply rinsing
the skimmer with warm water under a running tap.
8. When carrying out a water change, rinse out the filter sponges in water removed from the tank (NEVER
use tap water). Periodically replace the filter sponges. Avoid rinsing or replacing all sponges at the same
time to ensure minimal loss of essential bacteria.
9. Clean the water circulation pump regularly to ensure it does not become clogged with debris or detritus.
10. Ensure that the water inlets, water outlet, water outlet tubing and water outlet nozzle are clean and
free of blockages.
CAUTION: Failure to do so could result in operating problems.
11. Regularly clean the inside and outside of the Next Wave 60.
USEFUL TIP: A full range of spares and accessories is available to complement the Next Wave 60.
