Then, there is the pure water chamber (Fig. 2, No. 5) containing a pump which transports water
back into the aquarium. Simultaneously, it carries out a reef flushing. This reduces deposits at
inaccessible places behind the decoration. The pump has to be connected with a piece of tube and
inserted into the chamber by putting the tube through the designated bore hole (Fig. 2, No. 6).
It has to be taken care that the water level in the aquarium remains constant. Otherwise, the
pump in the pure water chamber may temporarily run dry and cause strong noises. Therefore, it is
important to refill evaporated water regularly.
The filtration chamber can be extended by using our nitratereductor, calcium reactor or phosphate
filter.
7. Operation of the aquarium
For the optimum health of your aquarium’s livestock we recommend our
REEF LIFE
water
conditioners:
REEF LIFE CALCIUM
provides calcium and trace elements to the aquarium.
REEF LIFE IODINE
is an essential trace element for corals.
If both conditioners are used in combination and regularly, they guarantee for a successful sea
water aquaristic.
To minimize algae problems through silicic acid, phosphate and nitrate, prepare the sea water with
osmosis water only. Sea salt supplied by AB Aqua Medic consists of salt of high purity. It helps to
keep the level of harmful substances low.
Phosphate problems can be solved by using the efficient absorber
antiphos
.

Safety instructions
The lighting system cannot be used as aquarium cover. It has to be mounted only above the
aquarium. The minimum distance between lighting and aquarium must be at least 20 - 30 cm.
The housing and protection glasses may become hot during operation. Be careful when touching
them!
Before changing lamps, always disconnect the lighting system from the mains and let it cool
down. Afterwards, take the lighting down.
When cleaning, take care that no humidity gets into the ventilation slits and enters the interior
of the lighting system!
Pay attention to a sufficient thermal exchange. Keep the ventilation slits always free!
Do not try to repair the lighting system. Please send it in for checking, preferably with a list of
defects.
