VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS FOR
STARTING THE TANK
STEP 1: REEF CONSTRUCTION AND SAND:
• We recommend to arrange the aqua scape whilst dry,
before filling the aquarium with seawater. This is sig-
nificantly easier than arranging the reef construction
underwater.
• When the aqua scape is finished, the sand can be added.
STEP 2: FILLING WITH SEAWATER
• Before filling for the first time, make sure all technical
components (skimmer, return pump, etc.) are installed in
compliance with the manufacturer’s safety instructions.
• Check the correct installation of the pipework once more.
First fully close the valve by turning it clockwise. Fill the
overflow box with a little water to test the leak-tightness
of the threaded connections on the overflow box.
• Fully open the valve before filling the display tank by tur-
ning it counterclockwise.
• Now start to fill the display tank with seawater.
• Once the display tank is almost full, the water starts
to flow into the sump via the overflow box. Monitor the
water level in the sump. Once the water level in the return
chamber is approx. 15cm (6 in), turn on the return pump.
