INSTALLATION AND USE
Push the cut end of this "output" hosing into the rubber connector
3.
at the top of the output nozzle assembly.
Push the hosing in by at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) without twisting it.
Place the output nozzle in the tank about 0.8 in. (2 cm) below the
4.
water line; then push the top half of the rim connector assembly down
until it "clicks" to lock the hosing in place.
5. Prepare the Filter
First disconnect AquaStop from filter and bring the filter to a sink making sure there are no soaps or chemicals
which could contaminate the filter.
IMPORTANT: The Bio-Foam, BIOMAX, fine pads and carbon filter media supplied with your Fluval filter have been
deliberately placed in Upper, Mid, and Lower level baskets to indicate their recommended placement for optimal basic
filtration. Be sure to note this positioning and place media in baskets at the same levels as you prepare the filter for use.
Remove the foam screen frame, media cover, and media baskets from the filter
1.
canister. The small white styrofoam square must be discarded. As you remove Carbon
and BIOMAX from baskets, note which levels they were packed in. Then remove
their outer wrappers; do not remove carbon from porous bag(s).
Rinse baskets and media materials under running tap water to remove any dust,
2.
and place media in baskets. Or, if you prefer, select other media of your own choosing.
(See "Fluval Advanced Filtration" for more information.)
Place rinsed and filled media baskets back in canister, and put the media cover back
3.
on top basket.
IMPORTANT: Make certain that each kind of media is positioned at the same level it
was packaged in, unless you are deliberately choosing a different filtration plan than the
recommended basic setup. Never overfill baskets. If baskets or cover are out of position,
cover may not close properly.
Rinse both sides of the foam screen frame under tap water before initial use to remove
4.
any possible contaminants, and slide it back into position in the canister, flat end down.
If the screen does not seem to fit properly, be sure it is not upside down.

Complete canister cover assembly:
5.
a. Lay the canister cover on a flat surface with its topside
down. Remove the lubricated rubber gasket from
its plastic bag. To seal the cover opening properly,
the gasket must be moist but it need not be wet.
"Click Carefully fit the gasket into the channel around the
to lock"
base of the cover.
b. Slide the impeller cover tab into the tab receptacle on
the rim of the impeller chamber. Push down the opposite side of the impeller cover making sure the impeller
starts to seat itself in the center of the impeller cover. Continue to push down until the retailing tab "clicks" and
locks into position.
Place the cover on the canister. Be sure to position it properly.
6.
There is only one orientation possible. Make certain that the
MSF logo on the cover and canister is aligned and that the
power cord fits into the notch on the rim of the canister.
Lock the cover in place. Push the double tabs of the lift-lock
7.
clamps under the rim; then press the upper tabs firmly against
the cover.
DO NOT FILL CANISTER WITH WATER
Place the unit in its final position.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
• This is a gravity-fed system. For it to work properly, the filter must be positioned vertically below the aquarium.
• The distance between the bottom of the canister and the maximum water level must not exceed 4.5 ft. (1.4 m).
• Hosing must follow a straight path from the filter to the aquarium rim, with no loops and very little slack.
• If hosing is too long, filter will not work properly.
• The water level should never be more than 7 in. (17.5 cm) below your aquarium rim.
• NEVER install the filter above the water level.
