Reef Octopus BH-1000
Protein skimmers are applied to most saltwater aquariums to remove certain organic
compounds, including proteins and amino acids, by using the polarity of the protein itself,
from the water to stop most of them decomposing into nitrogenous waste. Because of the
intrinsic charge, water-borne proteins are attracted to the air-water interface. Protein
skimmers work by infecting numerous tiny bubbles into the water chamber, which present an
enormous air-water interface for the protein molecules to cling to. The more tiny bubbles
reside in the chamber, the more proteins it absorbs.
Installation
1. Install the skimmer according to the illustration. Hang it on the back of tank, tighten
screw and make sure its fixed.
2. Put the water into the skimmer chamber until the water level is up to 8 in., switch off theair valve completely, start the power. After seconds, turn on the air valve as soon as thepump works properly. When the bubbles coming out perfectly, replace the air valve by the
silencer.
3. Adjust the water outlet, so that the bubble stopper comes out a little bit from surface.
4. If power shuts off, restart from step 2.
Maintenance
Collection Cup: It should be taken away to clean up at least once a week, depending on the organic load. Cleaning will enhance the extraction substantially.
Reaction Chamber: Internal clean up every 6 months recommended.
