Reef Octopus BH-2000
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 works 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 in to the skimmer chamber until the water level is up to 8 in., switch off the air valve completely, start the power. After seconds, turn on the air valve as soon as the pump works properly. When the bubbles come out perfectly, replace the air valve by the silencer.
3. If power shuts off, restart from step 2.
Maintenance
Collection Cup: It should be taken away to clean 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.
Safety Tips
1. Do not allow the skimmer pump to run dry.
2. Do not touch the plug with wet hands
3. Do not clean the skimmer with any chemicals that alcohol or ammonia.
