Aqua Medic Armatus Lagoon 400 Manual De Instrucciones página 9

If the overflow produces splashing noises, the drain easy drain (Fig. 1 + 2, No. 3) should be closed in small
increments (clockwise rotation) in order to increase the water flow in the overflow. At least in the initial phase,
it has to be checked regularly and readjusted, if necessary. Only make quarter turns and then wait at least 5 -
10 minutes so that the system has sufficient time to compensate. Attention: the water level in the filter
tank changes. If the drain is closed too much, the water flows into the filter tank via the emergency overflow.
The sponge used in the overflow along the ridge reduces splashing noises. It is recommended to regulate the
water level approximately in the middle of the sponge.
The divider between the skimmer and circulation pump compartment is adjustable in height and is fixed by two
screws. The optimum water level for the skimmer can be found in its manual.
To fill the storage tank (4) for refilling with water, close the tap, pull off the hose and remove the canister. Then
re-attach the hose and open the tap again. Open the tank's lid slightly so that air can flow in. The floating gauge
is adjustable in its angle, thus the water level in the pump compartment can be adjusted. Make sure that the
circulation pump does not block the floating gauge.
To avoid corrosion on hinges and devices, ensure that the base cabinet is adequately ventilated. The filter bags
(Fig. 1, No. 7) have a coarse mesh size. They can be filled with activated carbon or, to serve as a fine filter, with
usual filter cotton wool. There is a blue fitting in the mounted bend of the return line (Fig. 2, No. 1). Here, air is
sucked in when the pump in the cabinet fails. This prevents the formation of communicating pipes and an
overflow of the filter tank by returning water.
3. Operating the aquarium
To operate the Armatus Lagoon 400, we recommend the following products:
The circulation pump should be that strong that the total amount of water is pumped through the filter at least
4 to 5 times per hour (for example an Aqua Medic DC Runner pump). The flow in the aquarium is done by
current pumps. We recommend Aqua Medic EcoDrift pumps, one of which is mounted on the right and the left
side of the aquarium.
Important, especially when keeping stony corals, is a sufficiently sized skimmer, for example from the Aqua
Medic power flotor or Ocean Queen series.
For the lighting (Aqua Medic aquarius plus, Qube 50 or spectrus) we recommend to take the tank volume times
0.2 W/l as the lower limit, in case of colored stony corals 0.5 to 1.0 W/l.
The Aqua Medic Tri Complex compact is used to supply corals with essential lime and trace elements and to
stabilize the pH-value. For pH monitoring, we recommend the Aqua Medic pH monitor. To feed the corals, we
recommend the coral food coral fit.
We recommend to prepare your saltwater with osmosis water in order to minimize algae problems by silicic
acids, phosphates and nitrates from the beginning. Sea salt of Aqua Medic is formulated from highly purified
compounds. In this way, it will support you to keep the content of the above-mentioned substances as low as
possible.
The fixing of rocks and corals can easily be done with the underwater adhesive Reef Construct, Coral
Construct or hot construct.
