QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS – Pg. 21
6. Is the 24 hr. lighting an important aspect of the EcoSystem
Miracle Mud® Filter?
Yes - the unique 24 hour lighting period is important to the
EcoSystem methodology as it prevents caulerpa from
undergoing sexual reproduction that leads to its disintegrate as
well as from producing gelvin which makes the water yellow.
The 24 hour lighting also helps to keep the pH stable.
7. What about red slime algae (cyanobacteria)?
During the initial set up of your aquarium tank, it is normal to
have red slime algae and perhaps other nuisance algae due to
excess nutrients in the water. However as your aquarium
stabilizes, the nuisance algae should disappear. To help
facilitate this process, siphon out the nuisance algae or remove
with your hand.* In the case that this problem persists – make
sure that there is enough current flow in the EcoSystem Miracle
Mud® Filter as recommended. To increase current flow – a
powerhead may be placed in Chamber 2 directed so that it is
blowing over and across the Miracle Mud® bed in order not to
disturb it.
* Please note that it is NOT recommended to use harsh
chemicals as it can harm coral or fish so please take
precautions when using chemical solutions.
8. Do I need to get a different refugium with my setup?
No – you do not need to purchase and set up another refugium
for your aquarium. The EcoSystem Miracle Mud® Filter
functions as a refugium as well as an advance filter and water
enrichment system. This means that you do not need to add any
phytoplankton or zooplankton for your filter-feeding corals as
enough of these natural food sources will be produced in your
EcoSystem Miracle Mud® Filter. You will however need to still
feed your fish as there will not be enough copepods, amphipods
or other live food for your fish.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – Pg. 2
6.
Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be
plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
7.
If the appliance shows any signs of abnormal water leakage,
immediately unplug form power source.
8.
If the appliance falls into the water, DO NOT reach in for it. First,
unplug it from the power source, then retrieve it.
9.
The light fixture has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use
with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted. DO
NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature. – USA units only
10. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating
should be used. A cord rated for fewer amperes or watts than the
appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange
the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
11. Always unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank the cord to pull
the plug out form the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
12. To avoid injury, do not make contact with moving parts or hot
parts such as heaters, reflectors, light bulbs, light fixtures, etc.
13. Close supervision is necessary when any electrical appliances
are used by or near children.
Save these instructions. EcoSystem Aquarium®
will not be held responsible or liable for damage
to persons, appliances, animals and/or aquariums
that result from negligent care and failure to
follow safety precautions and instructions on the
