Fig. 4: Overflow with sponge and cover
When starting the aquarium, water has to be filled in until the filter tank in the compartment for the circulation
pump is filled up to 15 cm and then the pump (not included) has to be started. If the water level in the filter
tank drops, fill with water until the pump no longer sucks in air. Take care that sufficient space is left in the filter
tank so that any water that flows in when the pump fails or shuts off will still fit into the filter tank.
If the overflow produces splashing noises, the drain easy drain (Fig. 1 + 2, No. 3) should be closed in small
increments (clockwise rotation) in order to increase the water flow in the overflow. At least in the initial phase,
it has to be checked regularly and readjusted, if necessary. Only make quarter turns and then wait at least 5 -
10 minutes so that the system has sufficient time to compensate. Attention: the water level in the filter
tank changes. If the drain is closed too much, the water flows into the filter tank via the emergency overflow.
The sponge used in the overflow along the ridge reduces splashing noises. It is recommended to regulate the
water level approximately in the middle of the sponge.
The divider between the skimmer and circulation pump compartment is adjustable in height and is fixed by two
screws. The optimum water level for the skimmer can be found in its manual.
To fill the storage tank (4) for refilling with water, close the tap, pull off the hose and remove the canister. Then
re-attach the hose and open the tap again. Open the tank's lid slightly so that air can flow in. The floating gauge
is adjustable in its angle, thus the water level in the pump compartment can be adjusted. Make sure that the
circulation pump does not block the floating gauge.
To avoid corrosion on hinges and devices, ensure that the base cabinet is adequately ventilated.
The filter bags (Fig. 1, No. 7) have a coarse mesh size. They can be filled with activated carbon or, to serve as
a fine filter, with usual filter cotton wool.
There is a blue fitting in the mounted bend of the return line (Fig. 2, No. 1). Here, air is sucked in when the
pump in the cabinet fails. This prevents the formation of communicating pipes and an overflow of the filter tank
by returning water.
