1. Make sure both drain valves are closed
(perpendicular to flow tube) (A). Make sure
return valves are open (parallel to flow tube) (B).
2. Fill display tank until Sump Water Level
Indicator at side of Filtration Module rises
to Sump Maximum Water Level (indicated).
Never allow water level to go below
indicated Sump Minimum Water Level.
3. Start system. Plug power cord into 110-120v
dedicated outlet and turn switch on.
Never attempt to plug in unit unless
hands and plug are absolutely dry
.
NOTE: After startup, additional water will
be needed to achieve proper water level.
SYSTEM STARTUP
For Saltwater Systems Only:
Add approximately 30 pounds of Marineland’s Instant
Ocean
®
Lobster Salt to tank. Save the remainder to adjust salinity at a later time.
NOTE: When filling tank, run cold water through salt to dissolve it faster.
1. Remove Hydrometer from plastic tube.
2. Rinse plastic tube and fill it with water from tank.
3. Place Hydrometer in tube and tap tube
lightly so that hydrometer floats.
NOTE: You may also float Hydrometer in tank.
4. Read scale on Hydrometer.Reading should be
between 1.020 and 1.025. If the reading is below
1.020,add salt;above 1.025,drain some water and
replace with fresh water.1.022 is ideal.
MEASURING SALINITY
After your system has been running for about two hours and water
is clear, it is time to measure the tank’s salt level.
When replacing water lost due to evaporation,
simply add cold, clean tap water.
If water is removed for a specific purpose,
e.g. to dip lobsters or clean tank, new
salt and water will be needed.
Always
wait for salt to dissolve before taking Hydrometer reading.
Never
pour new salt into tank if lobsters are present. Use a clean container to dissolve
salt (approximately 1.5 lbs of salt to every 5 gallons of water).
