C. Twist-lock tting (Bayonet)
D. Micro-adjustable valve
E. Skimmer pump
F. Bubble plate chamber
G. Volute
H. Air intake tap
I. Air intake silencer
J. Air tube
1. Detach the skimmer body by removing the thumbscrews.
2. Insert skimmer pump into the volute mounting and twist to
lock it.
3. Before you reattach the skimmer body, ensure that the
skimmer pump wire is inserted into the grove of the skimmer
base.
STEP 1
1. Reattach the skimmer body and tighten the thumbscrews.
2. Insert air tube to the intake of skimmer pump.
3. Assemble the air intake silencer and connect the air tube
as
shown in the diagram.
STEP 2
1. Ensure that the micro-adjustable valve is fully opened
(clockwise)
before you start the skimmer pump.
2. Close the micro-adjustable valve until the skimmer water
level is between the bayonet and bottom of the collection cup.
3.
Set the air intake tap halfway and leave it to settle down for a
day or so (initial break-in period).
4.
When foam formation begins after break-in period, ne
adjustment to the skimmer can be done via adjustment of air
intake tap and micro-adjustable valve for optimum
performance.
STEP 4
1. For dry skimming foam, turn the micro-adjustable valve
clockwise.
2. For wet skimming foam, turn anti-clockwise.
3.
Skimz Skimmer can be operated with ozone up to max. 50
mg/h per pump via a suitable silicon hose. The guideline for
ozone dosing is 5 to 10 mg/h for each 100 L of aquarium
water.
4. Install a T-joint to the skimmer pump air inlet. Run one side
of the T to the ozone unit and the other to air intake silencer.
You can adjust the air intake tap to produce sucient suction
on the ozone side to pull the ozone into the skimmer
passively.
STEP 5
1. Position the skimmer in the sump.
2. For optimal performance, the water in the sump should be
between 180 and 240mm.
3. An auto water top up system or a separate skimmer
compartment in the sump is recommended to maintain the
water level and skimmer consistency. Fluctuations in water
level will aect the performance.
