AeroForce 2
TM
As many hobbyists venture into the world of reef keeping, a common goal among most is to keep the filtration
system as simple as possible. One of the most important components to filtration is the removal of compounds
which could eventually break down into ammonia and nitrite. The AeroForce 2
TM
is designed to provide a simple yet
highly efficient protein skimmer for a reef system. The AeroForce 2
TM
employs a new dual-body chamber to make
maintenance easier and for sturdier construction. Requiring no supplemental plumbing, the AeroForce 2
TM
simply
hangs on the back of the tank and can be installed in a few short minutes.
To place your AeroForce 2
TM
into operation:
1) Carefully remove all packaging and inspect the unit for damaged or missing parts. You should have:
(1) Outer acrylic body
(1) Inner protein skimmer body
(1) Pico400 (feed pump)
(1) Ario4 (skimmer pump) glued to acrylic base plate
(1) Collection cup assembly with “O” ring and lid
(1) O-ring for base plate support (packaged with Ario 4 pump cord)
(1) Support pin
If any items are damaged or missing, please contact your dealer immediately.
2) Rinse inside of the AeroForce 2
TM
with warm water. (optional)
3) Remove inner body from outer body. Feed the power cord from the Ario4 through the center of the o-ring.
Connect the airline to the pump. Insert the base plate with the attached Ario4 pump (#8 pg.4 diagram) to the
inside skimmer body by using the o-ring to hold into position. Insert the base plate from the bottom of the inner
skimmer body (3) and stretch the o-ring to hold onto the support bars (10) on the sides of the opening. Pull
the slack out of the airline and make sure it is secured through the airline access hole and into the black airline
clip on the side of the unit.
4) Slide the inner skimmer body (3) into the outer body (4). The inlet pipe parts 1 and 2 should line up once the
two bodies are together (see page 4).
5) Attach the Pico4 (9) to the inlet part 2.
6) Hang the AeroForce 2
TM
on your tank. Use the adjustment screws (11) and support pin (12) to position the
AeroForce 2
TM
so that it is parallel to the back of the tank. Insert the support pin into the desired position
first, and then adjust the screws accordingly.
7) Clean the collection cup (1) including the throat of the funnel in hot water. This will cause the skimmer to begin
collecting waste faster. Do not use any detergents on the collection cup. Insert cup inside protein skimmer
section with O-ring placed around the outside. The o-ring acts as a support for the cup to rest on top of the
AeroForce
2
TM
body. This is not intended to form a seal inside the body.
