Installation
For best performance the water level in the filter sump should be between 180 and
290 mm. Protein skimmers of this design are very sensitive to any water level changes.
A prerequisite for continuous efficient performance is a constant water level in which the
skimmer operates. Ideally, a water level top up system should be used such as the Deltec
Aquastat 1000 or better still a separate skimmer compartment in the sump (diagram b).
The water level in the skimmer compartment should be higher than in the rest of the sump.
but within the levels recommended for the skimmer model.
This compartment can be supplied with water from a bypass of the aquarium overflow.
