STEP 6: Attach Wet Side
•
Place the wet side into the aquarium and allow ALL air
to escape from the propeller housing.
•
Carefully align the wet and dry sides through the glass
(Figures D).
•
Optional: Place the foam guard over the wet side of
the pump. The foam guard can be used to ensure that
delicate marine animals do not get caught in the nozzle.
