Reef Octopus BH-800s
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., plug the blue hard tube into the air hose 01, and cap the air hose 02 with d: valve. Keep the valve closed, (or simply block hose 02 with your hand), start up the skimmer until all the air gets sucked up by the air intake devise from siphon system. Siphon will start to work. Remove the valve or release your hand and cap the air hose 02 with the silencer.
3. Adjust the water outlet, so that the bubble stopper comes out a little bit from surface.
4. Skimmer water level can be adjusted by moving the collection cup up or down.
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.
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 contain alcohol or ammonia.
