Page 7: Installation
1. Place the skimmer in the first section of the sump,or the section where the aquarium drain pipework is. We recommend you use mechanical filtration on the end of the drain pipework such as the TMC Filter Bag System (sold separately). This will ensure no large pieces of detritus are sucked into the pump which may damage the impeller and/or pump. -
Page 8: Initial Operations
INITIAL OPERATIONS Caution: Turn the water outlet adjustment knob CLOCKWISE as far as you can (to lower the water level as far as possible) BEFORE turning on the skimmer. Reef Skim 2.0 units have very powerful pumps and flooding can occur quickly if the water level is not correctly set. -
Page 9: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Caution: To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken when using this electrical appliance near water. Caution: Always isolate the pump from mains electricity before installing or carrying out any maintenance to the skimmer. Reef Skim 2.0 protein skimmers should need very little adjustment and maintenance once set up correctly. However due to salt deposits and the high calcium level in marine aquariums, it is common for deposits to build up and therefore it is recommended that the skimmer and venturi are cleaned periodically with a bottle brush or similar. -
