  2. Assemble Skimmer Cup: Ensure the skimmer cup is securely seated on the skimmer body.
  3. Attach Air Silencer: Connect the air hose from the skimmer to the air silencer.
  4. Iṣagbesori: The skimmer uses a waterproof magnetic connection system. Place the skimmer inside your aquarium or sump, ensuring the magnet mount is aligned with the external magnet on the glass. The system is rated for glass up to 15 mm (0.6 inches) thick.Close-up of the Magnetic Connection System (MCS)

  5. Ibi: Position the skimmer in an area with good water flow, typically in a sump or directly in the display tank. Ensure the skimmer is fully submerged to the recommended water level indicated on the unit.
  6. Initial Water Level Adjustment: Adjust the height of the skimmer or the water level in your sump so that the water line inside the skimmer body is at the 'WATER LEVEL' indicator. This is a crucial step for optimal performance.

  1. Agbara Tan: Once the skimmer is correctly installed and submerged, connect the power plug to an electrical outlet. The pump will start, and bubbles will begin to form.
  2. Àkókò Ìwọlé: A new skimmer typically requires a break-in period of several days to a few weeks. During this time, micro-bubbles may be excessive, and skimmate production might be inconsistent. This is normal as a biofilm develops on the internal surfaces.
  3. Adjusting Skimmate Consistency:
    • Wet Skim: For lighter, more frequent skimmate, raise the internal water level by adjusting the height-adjustable water inlet or the skimmer's position.
    • Dry Skim: For darker, thicker skimmate, lower the internal water level.
    Adjust the air regulation valve on the silencer to fine-tune bubble production and foam height. Small adjustments are recommended, allowing several hours between changes to observe the effect.
  4. Ozone Compatibility: The Sicce Shark Nano Protein Skimmer 300 is ozone compatible. If using ozone, ensure proper safety precautions and follow the ozone generator's instructions.

Itoju

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your protein skimmer.

  1. Empty Skimmer Cup: The skimmer cup should be emptied regularly, typically every few days or as it fills. The frequency depends on the bioload of your aquarium. Rinse the cup with fresh water.
  2. Clean Skimmer Neck: Wipe the inside of the skimmer neck to prevent organic buildup, which can impede foam production.
  3. Impeller and Pump Cleaning: Periodically (e.g., monthly or bi-monthly), disconnect the skimmer from power and remove the pump. Disassemble the pump and clean the impeller and pump housing using the provided cleaning brush and fresh water. The self-cleaning impeller design helps reduce the frequency of this task.Comparison of Sicce Shark Skimmer 150 and 300 showing impellers

  4. Air Silencer Maintenance: Check the air silencer and air line for blockages or salt creep. Clean as necessary to ensure unrestricted air intake.
