stallation,astoavoidttingproblems.Checkhowhigh
the sera bioactive IF 400 + UV internallter includ-
ing lid can be installed without touching the hood. The
upperedgeoftheltershouldbeapproximately1–
2 cm (0.4 – 0.8 in.) below the upper edge of the tank
(2.1).
2. Now hold the serabioativeIF4UVinternall-
ter to the aquarium glass from the outside and locate
thegluingareafortheholderrail.Marktheinstallation
area on the outside of the aquarium with an overhead
marker or a grease pencil.
3. Lower the water level in the aquarium so far that the
marked area is completely dry. Allow an additional re-
serve of 5 cm (2 in.). Pull the mains plug of the heat-
er before lowering the water level.
4. Now remove the lime deposits on the area where the
holder rail is to be glued on using sera pH/KH-minus,
and clean it carefully with pure alcohol (not with ace-
tone!). Use kitchen roll paper or the like for both clean-
ingsteps.Makesurethataslittlesera pH/KH-minus

sure the angle is directed upwards (2.3) and no ex-
cess glue drips into the aquarium. Fixate the holder
rail with plastic coated clamps and additionally sup-
port it with bars as to prevent it sliding down. A pos-
sibly occurring glue bulge must be removed immedi-
ately.
