IMPORTANT: Read all instructions before beginning.
• Ensure water level remains below output nozzle during setup.
• Allow 30-45 minutes for setup and installation.
• Tools required: Utility knife. (Note: For an unusually shallow aquarium, the intake tube may need to be
cut; this requires a hacksaw.)
DO NOT PLUG IN FILTER UNTIL SETUP IS COMPLETE AND UNIT IS FILLED WITH WATER.
1. Unpack and identify all parts
Use the diagram on the inside front cover as a guide. A parts
guide can also be found at the end of this manual.
2. Prepare the aquarium
1. Decide on filter placement. Remember, this is a gravity-
fed system. For it to work properly, all the Installation
Requirements below must be adhered to.
Installation Requirements
•
The canister base must never be more than 4.5 ft. (1.4
m) below the water level.
•
Hosing must follow a
straight path
from the filter to
the aquarium rim, with no loops and very little slack.
•
The water level should never be more than 7 in. (17.5
cm) below your aquarium rim.
•
The filter must ALWAYS be positioned below the
aquarium.
•
Intake tube should not be positioned in close proximity to
an air source.
2. Place the two rim connector assemblies over the back top edge
of the aquarium.
Place one just above the spot where you want to position the
intake tube; place the other just above the spot where you want
to position the output nozzle. Be sure the longer section of
each connector is on the outside of the aquarium.Attach suction cups to the outside and inside
section of each connector.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to position the intake tube away from any air source—an air stone,
an aeration device, or the output valve. Air entering the intake strainer will diminish filter
efficiency.
3. Prepare intake connections
1. Insert the AquaStop valve into the intake and output connectors on the cover,
and push down on the locking lever to lock it
in place.
a. Position the filter below the aquarium where it will sit while operating.
b.
Attach hosing to the intake connector (IN) on the AquaStop valve ; the input connector will be
on your left.
c. Push one end of the hosing onto the valve; push it all the way, as far as it will go.
d. Turn the lock nut counter clockwise until it is as tight as you can make it without forcing.
2. Measure and cut the hosing. You will need a length of hosing that reaches comfortably from the
filter canister to inside the aquarium.
a. Stretch out the hosing up to the top of the aquarium so it rests over the “intake” rim connector
assembly.
b. At a spot about 4 in. (10 cm) beyond the aquarium rim, use a utility knife to cut the hosing. Do
not cut the hosing too short.
IMPORTANT: You will want the hosing to be long enough so that its connection point with the intake assembly is always about 3 in.
(7.5 cm) below the water line. Remember, you can always cut hosing shorter during final installation, if necessary.
