●Controller Connection
●Adjust usage in skimmer
There are two ways to adjust the water level and
foam volume in the skimmer.
You can make the adjustment by using both method.
① Control Pipe
It is a variable valve that can adjust the amount of
drainage from 0 to 100%.
(If it is set to 0%, water will overflow from the air outlet, so it can not be
actually set to 0%.)
Turn the pipe so that the water level inside the skimmer
stabilizes at the ideal water level. (See next page)
0％ 100％
Turn clockwise to increase drainage and turn
counterclockwise to increase water level.
Do not turn it too much as it may cause
damage,
Attention
Be sure to have a "drip loop" between the outlet and the
controller.
"Drip loop" is mean that the part of the cord is below the location
of the outlet, as it can prevent water from running down the
cord and coming into connect with the outlet.
Attention
1. Please connect the joint part of the pump and the controller with the following
connection method.
2. Check that the main unit is under the water, so that the inside of the main unit
is filled with water before connecting the plug to the outlet.
※Please be careful that not to let the pump run idle, since it may cause damage to the pump.

Use the above method to adjust the dark brown to black viscous contaminants in the cup.
If water colour is light yellow to brown and it is accumulated in the cup, lower the amount
of foam and the water level to see how it looks.
Adjustment Guide (Dirt Removal Condition)
Note that if the water level at the installation site drops due to
evaporation or some other reasons, not only will the skimmer's
capacity be reduced, but also the pump will draw in air and cause
damage.
Attention
It is recommended to use the pump at an output of 60 to 70% with good
pump operation efficiency. Constant operation at 100% accelerates pump
wear.
Attention
Foam
Water
Level
Ideal balance between water level and foam
※At the beginning of setting, after changing water,
or after adding additives, the balance between water
level and foam as shown in the figure may not be
maintained, but this is not a problem.
A large amount of foam may be generated immediately after the initial setting, after water change,
and immediately after maintenance. Please check regularly.
●Maintenance
Clean the collection cup once a week. Regular cleaning will remove more
contaminants (if more than one-third of the contaminants have accumulated).
At that time, use a soft cloth without using detergent, and clean it with warm water.
Clean the air tube once a week.
If the air tube gets clogged, the air flow will decrease and the capacity will drop
dramatically.
Once a month, check that calcium has not settled on the inside of the motor, impeller,
and water supply port, and if so, remove it with a cloth or brush.
For areas where brushes do not enter, dissolve calcium using acetic acid solution.
※Be sure to unplug the power from the outlet and the power is not turned on.
※Make sure you understand the structure of the pump before proceeding.
※Do not use detergents or hard sponges or brushes.
※Clean the power cord and outlet with a soft, dry cloth.

・Water overflows into the collection cup.
Check that the water level of the filtration layer and the appropriate water level
of the skimmer are the same.
If any additives are used, make sure they do not affect the skimmer.
During the start-up of the aquarium, such symptoms may occur after adding
additives such as coral food. Adjust the control pipe to lower the water level, or
adjust the pump flow rate with the pump controller.
Also, mucosal protective agents cannot be used. Once the mucosal protective
agent is added, several water changes are required to be made.
・The foam pops out and does not reach the collection cup.
Check that the water level of the filtration layer and the appropriate water level
of the skimmer are the same.
In addition, this probelm may be seen during the beginning of the aquarium, after
changing water, and after adding additives. This is not a big problem, just place it
for a while.
・There is water leakage or air leakage from the O-ring.
Each O-ring (rubber packing) deteriorates due to various factors.
Please check and replace it regularly.
・Pump does not work.
The pump is a consumable item. It deteriorates with use. Replace it regularly.
Also, please be careful that low water level will make it run idle, and it may
cause serious damage to the pump even the pump have protection.
・Pump is running but no bubbles are generated.
While dust or salt being clogged from the air tube to the pump suction part, air
cannot be sucked in and no bubbles are generated. Please clean this area
・Bubbles in skimmer are too large.
Check the salt concentration in the aquarium. If the salt concentration is low,
the skimmer will not have a good performance.
・Easy control pipe does not rotate.
Adjust the screw or pump mount on the bottom of the easy control pipe.
Check if the gear valve clogged by dust ,sands or rocks .
