To Start
1. Fill skimmer with aquarium water until it flows out of the outlet.
Select a suitable place to set your protein skimmer
1. The aquarium’s water level must not be more than 4” from the aquarium’s rim.
2. The water intake of inlet pipe must be completely submerged underwater when in use.
3. Hang the protein skimmer on the aquarium.
Adjust the screw A, so the skimmer is parallel to your aquarium.
Caution! Over-tightening the screws will damage the skimmer! Maintenance
The skimmer will take 2-4 weeks to reach optimal operation. During the break-in
period, we recommend setting the collection cup in its highest position. Loosen the
screw Bto adjust the position of collection cup, once you finish adjustment tighten the
screw Bto make the collection cup fixed.
Regular maintenance of the pump will ensure a long life and maximum performance:
recommended every 3 months. You can disassemble the pump by following steps:

chamber will fill with bubbles. Once the bubbles
reached the bottom of the collection cup, you can
start to adjust the water level according to your
preference. Loosen the screw B to adjust the
position of the collection cup. If you prefer a wetter
skimmate, you need a high water level (lower cup
position); by contrast, if you want skimmate to be
drier, just let your water level goes down(higher cup
position).
