C Positioning of the Skimmer
Place the skimmer in the filter tank.
In order to ensure optimum operation, the water level in the filter tank should be
j
180 to 240 mm. Given that changes in the water level directly affect skimming, the
use of an automatic level control, EHEIM waterrefill Type 3548, is recommended.
