pump chamber filled up whilst this is happening. Initially
the overflow will be noisy as the water gurgles down the
syphon pipe.
Gradually close the shut off valve on pipe 2 until the
water level in the weir box starts to rise. Keep adjusting
the valve in small steps until the water only just dribbles
down the emergency pipe (pipe 3). This may take some
fine tuning to achieve but will allow the overflow to run
almost silently. It may be necessary to adjust this from
time to time as the pipes and comb start to get dirty.
You will notice that there is an anti syphon hole in the
feed pipe where it enters the tank and that you may get
an initial water splutter from this on first starting. This
is normal and will go away when the water level in the
aquarium gets higher than the hole. It is important that
this hole is kept clean and clear to prevent syphoning in
the case of a power outage.
Levelling of the Doors
As a final step you should know that the cabinet doors
are fully adjustable in 3 planes. Remove the cover plate
and adjust as per the diagram.
The hinges are lacquer coated to reduce corrosion
however they should be wiped down from time to time,
especially if they start to collect salt creep or get wet.
Sump Layout
The glass sump is designed to be flexible and have
enough space to accommodate most types of
equipment and methodologies.
Note:
If installing an auto top-up unit, the float should be
installed in section D

Silent Running of your Aquarium
Now that you have everything installed and piped up,
you can start to fill the tank and let it overflow into the
sump, up to the running level. Switch on the return
pump and observe as the water fills the tank and then
overflows into the weir box. Ensure that you keep the
