Installation
The "Slimskim Nano" is designed to be positioned inside the aquarium using the supplied magnet +
suction-cup supports (for glass/acrylic up to 10mm/3/4" thick). It' s adaptable and is the ideal solution for
aquariums that do not have a sump.
After assembling the product, please proceed as follows:
•
Choose where to position the skimmer inside the aquarium, remember to clean the surface (both inside
and outside the aquarium) carefully so the magnet+suction-cup support can stick properly.
•
Position the skimmer, as suggested n fig. 18, so that the water level is at the mid-height of the grid to
guarantee adequate surface aspiration.
•
Position the collection cup adjusting the o-ring as suggested in fig.19.
•
Connect the pump to the electrical supply.
The following instructions on regulating water level and airflow are only indicative for the start up of the
skimmer. It will then be up to the Fishkeeper to adjust the system to better fit specific needs (tank size,
stocking, foam, etc).
Important: the skimmer needs to run at least 3/7 days before it starts foaming properly and
the setting becomes final. It is possible to notice some air bubbles that enter the aquarium
through the drainage, this is normal, and they will disappear once the skimmer reaches it's
operating balance.
