AquaReef 200

Main Tank Installation:

Step 1: 

Once all the equipment has been unpacked and installed the aquarium can be filled with water.

Step 2: 

Fill up the main aquarium. When water enters the filter via the weir check the filter is filling with water.

Step 3: 

When the water level in the filter is above the sponges in the third chamber the return pump can be switched on.

Step 4: 

Moniter the water level in the filter as the water is circulating, as a top up may be needed.

Step 5: 

Once the aquarium is up and running the skimmer can be turned on.

Once the aquarium has been filled turn the skimmer on and it will fill up with water.

- Once the skimmer is working the outlet tap can be used to raise and lower the water level in the filter.

- The venturi adjuster can also limit the amount of air which enters the skimmer.

- There needs to be a fine balance between water entering the skimmer and the amount of air.

- By adjusting the venturi valve and the outlet valve you need to set the water level at the base of the collection cup.

- The air can be adjusted, to move the water level further up the collection cup.
