Scuma MKB 130 DC 160 DC
,
, 200 DC and 250 DC
The Blau Aquaris!c Scuma MKB series represent the latest vanguard of protein skimmers placed into the sump.
They have an op!mum performance and take up a minimum of space.
Before the installa!on and use of this skimmer, we recommend read and understand this instruc!ons.
Features:
-
Acrylic body in the shape of classic milk bo" le, for an op!mum performance.
-
Thanks to its though#ul design, it takes up as li" le space as possible (internal pump and knife gate valve).
-
Direct-current pump with power controller from 0 to 100%.
-
Three regula!on levels for a be" er skim control: power of the pump, air intake and water output.
-
The silencer bracket turns 360º allowing its be" er posi!on.
-
Silencer with ozone intake.
-
Silicon feet an!-vibra!on.
-
Level sensor for avoid the cup overflow.
-
Fully demountable for an improved cleaning.
-
Silent func!oning.
-
Maximum air injec!on.

Installa
!
on:
-
It should be installed into the sump or an aquarium which carries this func
!
on.
-
For an op
!
mum performance place it in a compartment with a stable water level and with the
recommended water height.
-
Place the power adapter and the DC controller in a dry place.
-
Avoid the entrance of scraps or materials that would damage the pinwheel impeller.
-
Mount the protein skimmer following the a
"
ached framework.
Assembly:
-
Remove the skimmer base by loosening the screws and turning the piece un
!
l the screw's heat can get
out by the holes of the base.
-
Place the pump in its base. Put the injector ring in the water inlet. Open the bubble di
ff
user loosening
the screw. Set the bubble di
ff
user to the pump through the provided nut, the di
ff
user should be centred
in rela
!
on to the skimmer base. Close the cover of the di
ff
user with the screw so that the part without
holes cases above the pump exit.
-
Lock the skimmer base placing the body over the base and
!
ghtening the screw.
-
Place the air injector in the pump output ring. Place the white silicone tube in the air injector inlet.
-
Place the silencer in its bracket and connect the air tube injector to the silencer.
-
Place the level sensor in its support into the skimmer cup, at the desired lecel. And connect it to the
pump.
Start-up:
-
Connect the pump to the controller, connect the controller to the power adaptor and then plug it to
the electric network.
-
It has di
ff
erent op
!
ons for regulate the protein skimmer:
a)
Regula
!
on through knife gate valve in the exit. To more closed, highest water level into the skimmer
and most liquid will be the skim.
b)
Regula
!
on of the air intake by the silencer gate. Not always we can achieve a be
"
er skimming with a
maximum input. An excess of air can produce turbulences and a poor func
!
oning of the pump.
Generally it's necessary to connect the skimmer with the maximum air intake valve opening and slowly
closing un
!
l observe an op
!
mum mix in the protein skimmer body (white colour). A smaller entrance of
air brings a higher entrance of water, consequently when we close the air intake, the water level
increases into the skimmer.
c)
Regula
!
on by the power of the pump. Obviously a power increase achieves a greater water
fl
ow. When
the water level in the sump is higher than expected, it may be worth decrease the power of the pump.
-
Generally, a be
"
er skimming is achieved placing the inner water level into the skimmer's neck; but it
depends of di
ff
erent factors as the organic ma
"
er in suspension.
-
Due to the nature of the acrylic material of the protein skimmer, a good skimming should not happen
on the
fi
rst days.
-
Water changes or addi
!
ves introduc
!
on can produce temporary skimming mismatches. The level
sensor will stop the pump in case of over
fl
ow.
Maintenance:
-
For a proper skimming, clean the pump neck as o
'
en as possible.
-
For safety, unplug the pump before any kind of maintenance.
-
The detritus accumula
!
on can a
ff
ect the proper func
!
oning, a periodic cleaning is needed.
-
It is normal that salt deposits will appear in the air injector which decreases its e
ff
ec
!
veness. Stopping
the pump for an hour can help to undo the salt deposits. In case of severe obstruc
!
on, it is useful to
disassemble the injector and immerse it in warm water or eve water mixed with vinegar.
-
Use a sponge or a so
'
cloth for clean the plas
!
c parts of the protein skimmer, never use aggressive
agents which could scratch the plas
!
c.
Ozone use:
-
This protein skimmer allows use ozone.
-
Ozone injec
!
on must be made by its speci
fi
c intake in the silencer.
-
An excessive use of ozone can be harmful for the aquarium life. Use it in small doses and through a
controller.
Warning:
1-
Do not run the pump dry.
2-
Keep the controller and the power source far from water splashes.
