3. Clean the area onto which the holder rail is to be glued
generously with rubbing alcohol, or alcohol. The glass
area must be clean, dry and fat free.
4. Also clean the side of the holder rail to be glued with
rubbing alcohol, or alcohol (not with acetone!).
5. E venly distribute aquarium silicone to the assigned
zones of the holder rail (2.2).
6. Carefully glue the holder rail to the cleaned glass zone
(according to your mark), and press it on firmly. Make
sure the angle is directed upwards (2.3). A possibly
occurring glue bulge must be removed immediately.
7. Leave the aquarium in its tilted position while the
aquarium silicone dries (24 hours).
8. B ring the aquarium in its final position after 24 hours
and clean the glass areas carefully with plenty of wa-
ter, but without any detergents.
9. N ow you can fit the body of the internal filter with its
desired filter material equipped as desired (2.3) and
then put the lid (4.3) on.
Installation when refittin
1. Carefully measure the sera bioactive IF 400 + UV in-
ternal filter and the aquarium pane intended for in-
stallation, as to avoid fitting problems. Check how high
the sera bioactive IF 400 + UV internal filter includ-
ing lid can be installed without touching the hood. The
upper edge of the filter should be approximately 1 –
2 cm (0.4 – 0.8 in.) below the upper edge of the tank
(2.1).
2. Now hold the sera bioa tive IF 4 UV internal fil-
ter to the aquarium glass from the outside and locate
the gluing area for the holder rail. Mark the installation
area on the outside of the aquarium with an overhead
marker or a grease pencil.
3. Lower the water level in the aquarium so far that the
marked area is completely dry. Allow an additional re-
serve of 5 cm (2 in.). Pull the mains plug of the heat-
er before lowering the water level.
4. Now remove the lime deposits on the area where the
holder rail is to be glued on using sera pH/KH-minus,
and clean it carefully with pure alcohol (not with ace-
tone!). Use kitchen roll paper or the like for both clean-
ing steps. Make sure that as little sera pH/KH-minus
and alcohol as possible runs into the aquarium. The
glass surface must be clean, dry and fat free after-
wards.
5. Also clean the side of the holder rail to be glued with
rubbing alcohol, or alcohol (not with acetone!).
6. E venly distribute aquarium silicone to the assigned
zones of the holder rail.
7. Carefully glue the holder rail to the cleaned glass zone
(according to your mark), and press it on firmly. Make
sure the angle is directed upwards (2.3) and no ex-
cess glue drips into the aquarium. Fixate the holder
rail with plastic coated clamps and additionally sup-
port it with bars as to prevent it sliding down. A pos-
sibly occurring glue bulge must be removed immedi-
ately.
8. Let the glue dry for 24 hours and then remove the
clamps or bars. Remove the hood while doing so. Then
carefully clean the glass surfaces with plenty of wa-
ter, but without any detergents.
Operation
uippin the filter bas ets 3
Equip the filter with mechanical, chemically-physically
absorbing or biological filter media. The kit includes sera
siporax mini Professional, which allows space for a
particularly high density of filter bacteria due to its func-
tional and ideal properties. sera filter biostart serves
for activating sera siporax mini Professional. The filter
baskets can be filled with filter media via the lateral cov-
er. Depending on the size of the filter medium used it
may be advisable to place the filter medium in a filter
media bag and then in a filter basket. Hold the filter bas-
ket tilted to the side for filling, and remove the cover (3.3).
Fill in the filter material and push the cover back on. Do
not overfill the baskets, as closing and opening the cov-
er might become difficult otherwise (3.4).
Click the baskets one above the other (3.2) into the hold-
er rail, which allows you to simply push the baskets into
the casing of the sera bioactive IF 400 + UV internal
filter and pull them out again (3.1).
eneral advi e or filtration throu h filter media
For achieving filtration as efficiently as possible as well
as operating time as long as possible, it is advisable to
place mechanical filter media in the upper baskets and
the biologically effective ones underneath. The filter me-
dia that clog first can then be removed very quickly and
easily.
ptional use as a ast ow filter
There are aquarium applications concerning the elimina-
tion of large amounts of floating matter. The sera bioac-
tive IF 4 UV internal filter may in this case be oper-
ated without filter baskets, and you can operate it with,
for instance, filter wool instead of equipped filter baskets.
If this is the case, the water will preferably enter the filter
chambers through the entire side of the filter and can be
taken up by the mechanical filter medium there (5.3).
Make sure to equip the filter symmetrically (5.2). In case
you use less than 6 baskets, it should be 2 or 4 of them
placed facing each other in the filter ducts. The entire
water agitation within the sera bioactive IF 400 + UV
internal filter is achieved by the sera filter and eed
pump FP 750.
Installing the sera UV-C System 5 W
For details, please refer to the separate information for
use.
Located on the pump, there is a hose (1.8) pushed on
that connects the sera UV-C System 5 W to the pump
underneath. Now push the UV-C lamp on and connect
the outlet to the sera current distributor with two mov-
able current nozzles (1.11) via the outlet adapter (1.10).
The current nozzles can be directed by bending (4.4)
according to the situation concerning the decoration in-
side the aquarium. In case of overstretching, the current
distributor segments will separate from each other, but
can be pushed back together again easily (4.5). In the
same way, segments of the Y shaped current distribu-
tor can also be removed from one side and inserted to
the opposite side as required (4.6).
