Installation Method 2: Using Mounting Brackets A (13) + Mounting Bracket B (14)
If you intend to use both mounting brackets A (13) and mounting bracket B (14)
for the installation of the V²Skim 200 please read the following and refer
to diagram 3 below.
1.
Insert mounting bracket B (14) into the slot at the back
of mounting bracket A (13) (see diagram 3).
2.
Slide mounting bracket B (14) to the correct height so
that the V²Skim 200 can be positioned in your aquarium
or sump with the top of the water outlet (6) located
approximately 5mm below the water surface in your
aquarium or sump (please see diagram 2) and both the
water inlet (5) and water outlet (6) are unrestricted.
Please note:
the top of the water outlet (6) of the
V²Skim 200 must not be positioned any lower than approx.
5mm beneath the water surface as this would cause
water to be drawn into the air intake (4) on the injection
system and as a result the skimmer will not perform
correctly.
3.
Secure the V²Skim 200 to the inside of your aquarium or
sump ensuring that the suction cups on mounting brackets A
are successfully secured, and mounting bracket B has been
tightened correctly.
OPERATION
1.
Make sure all connections are tightly secured.
2.
Ensure the skimmer collection cup (2), and the collection cup lid (1) are securely and
correctly positioned on the main skimmer body (7).
3.
Turn the water level adjustment dial (3) to make sure it is in a fully open position
and the water outlet (6) is unrestricted.
INITIAL OPERATION
1. Plug in and switch on the pump (8).
2. Turn water level adjustment dial (3) until the micro
bubbles can be seen entering the base of the
collection cup (2) (see diagram 4). Let the pump run
for 24-48 hours to allow the skimmer to establish
itself.
3. Once the skimmer has been established, if required
turn the water level adjustment dial (3) to control
the water and micro bubble level within the main
skimmer body (7).
Please Note:
Variables such as introducing new fish or invertebrates into the aquarium,
frequent feeding, adding supplements or medications, fluctuations in water quality
and/or salinity, water changes and maintenance may temporarily alter the performance
of the V

Skim 200 Protein Skimmer.
The V²Skim 200 is not designed to be used with,
or connected to, ozone generators.
