用用用用

Add the seawater to the main tank, rear sump and directly into the

skimmer (to prevent it floating instead of filling with water) until the

water is at the level of the circulation pump outlet nozzles. Turn on the

skimmer pump, circulation pump/s and chiller pump if installed and add

more water to the system until the water level in the rear sump is at the

optimum water level as indicated by the bar across the viewing slot in

the side panel.

11 Operation of the Protein

Skimmer

Adjustment of the skimmer will be necessary from time to time due to

the constant changes in density and organic material in the water.

The function of the skimmer will not be affected by the normal

fluctuation of the water level in the rear sump (due to evaporation)

however the water level must be maintained between the maximum

and minimum levels shown.

The consistency of the foam produced by the MSK protein skimmers is

controlled by raising and lowering the Skim Adjuster.

The foam will be formed in the upper part of the skimmer body and

will build and climb up the neck of the collection cup. Set the position

of the Skim Adjuster so that the water level in the skimmer body is

approximately at the base of the neck.

If the foam is too dry or it starts to accumulate lower in the neck,

gradually raise the Skim Adjuster until the desired foam consistency is

achieved. If the foam is too wet, lower the Skim Adjuster.

Over-Skimming

An uncontrollable flow of aerated water into the collection cup.

In the event of over-skimming the excess water will flow back into the

sump from the overflow slot located at the top of the collection cup.

To control the over-skimming make sure that the Skim Adjuster is set in

its lowest position, add the air valve to the top of the air inlet pipe and

reduce the air intake until the foam stabilizes. Continue controlling the

skimmer by adjusting the air intake. When the skimmer is stable with the

air valve fully open, remove the valve and control the skimmer with the

Skim Adjuster.

New Skimmers or Set-ups

Skimmers only produce foam if the water contains the proteins that

bind to the surface of the air bubbles and give the bubbles the structural

rigidity they need to ascend the neck of the skimmer and settle in the

collection cup. In a new aquarium

set-up the bio-load is low and the

amount of proteins is negligible.

New skimmers sometimes need

a short break-in period of a

few days before they begin to

function efficiently. Over-skimming

is common while harmless

chemical residues that affect the

surface tension of the water are

neutralized.

NOTE: If you have mixed your saltwater for the initial fill inside the

aquarium wait until the salt is fully dissolved and that the water

has reached the desired salinity and temperature before trying

to set the final water level.
