Congratulations on your purchase of the Reef Glass Nano Skimmer. We know
you will be pleased with the results.
Parts Included:
1.
Glass Skimmer Body
: Made with high quality Pyrex glass. It has a
simple and practical straight shape so you can remove the air stone
from the top without having to unmount the skimmer.
2.
Acrylic Mount
: Versatile mount allows you to install the skimmer on
most rimless and rimmed tanks.
3.
Mount Screw
: Can be screwed on the back of the mount for rimless
tanks and on the front of the mount for rimmed tanks.
4.
Rubber Stopper
: Has an air inlet hole and a waste drain hole. The air
valve must be placed into the air inlet hole and the elbow connector
must be inserted into the waste drain hole.
5.
Limewood Airstone
: Made of high quality limewood, produces
microbubbles that trap the waste that is subsequently drained to a
waste container of your choice.
6.
Rigid Acrylic Tube
: One end must be inserted into the air inlet hole
on the bottom of the rubber stopper. The other end has a flexible
connector for connecting the limewood airstone. Comes pre-
assembled for your convenience.
7.
O-Ring
: Holds the glass skimmer on the acrylic mount and can be
adjusted to change the positioning of the skimmer.
8.
Air Valve
: Must be inserted into the air inlet hole on the top of the
rubber stopper. Use it to adjust air flow to the limewood airstone.
9.
Drain Elbow connector
: One end must be inserted into the waste
drain hole on the rubber stopper. Connect a length of flexible tubing
to the other end of the elbow of sufficient length to reach the waste
container.
10.
Flexible
tubing
: 4’ of flexible tubing is included.
11.
Straight tubing
connector
: Can be optionally inserted into a hole on
the cap of your waste container or to connect airline tubing directly
to the air inlet if you prefer to use your own in-line air valve.
Parts Needed:
•
Air Pump
: We recommend AP-3 Danner, Tetra Whisper 10, Whisper
20 or similar pump. Note that limewood airstones require more
pressure than regular airstones.
•
Waste Container
: Can be as simple as a used water bottle. Air must
be able to exit the container at all times for proper operation. We
recommend that you leave the waste container uncapped. If you
decide to place a cap, then you must drill 2 holes on the cap, one for
inserting the included straight tubing connector and another one to
permit the free flow of air. The hole for the connector is
approximately 5/32” (drill bit size).
