OPER TION
1. Once the MicroHabitat is full of water and ensuring that the protein
skimmer chamber (7), filtration chamber (8) and the pump and heater
chamber (9) are also full of water, plug in and switch on the water
circulation pump (4) and the heater (18).
2. Once the water circulation pump (4) is switched on, water will be drawn
into the protein skimmer and filtration chambers (7 & 8) via the water
inlets (6) and will pass through the filter sponges
will return back into the tank via the water outlet (10) and the
directional 'duck bill' nozzle (5). C UTION: To avoid any operating
problems, ensure the water inlets and outlets are not obscured by tank
decor, substrate or filter media.
3. Make sure all connections are tightly secured and check for leaks.
4. Ensure the skimmer collection cup and lid (16a) are securely and
correctly positioned. Failure to do so could result in leaks.
5. Plug in and switch on the H
6. Carefully turn the air inlet adjustment valve (16b) on the protein
skimmer in an anti-clockwise direction until the micro-bubbles can be
seen to just enter the base of the collection cup cone (-----) (see photo).
Please Note: When any adjustments are made to the air inlet
adjustment valve (16b) it will take a few moments for the micro-bubbles
and water level within the skimmer to settle and become stable.
7. Leave the H
2
ir air pump (19) running to allow the skimmer to establish
itself and if required make further adjustments to the air inlet adjustment
valve (16b) to control the air and water level within the main skimmer
body (16d).
Please Note: With any adjustments made, ensure that the water level
in the main skimmer body (16d) is closely monitored to ensure the
collection cup (16a) is not flooded. C UTION: Failure to do so could
result in water overflowing onto the floor.
Please Note: It is perfectly normally for the protein skimmer to take a
few days to become established and stable.
Please Note: Under normal operating circumstances, due to the size of
the MicroHabitat 30, there will generally be very little organic matter or
detritus to be removed by the skimmer and filtration system. Therefore
the skimmer may not always be producing a foam and skimming. This is
perfectly normal. s long as the micro-bubbles and water level within the
skimmer are correct, the skimmer will start skimming as soon as organic
matter or detritus build up in the MicroHabitat.
Please Note: Variables such as introducing new micro corals or micro
invertebrates into the tank, frequent feeding, adding supplements or
medications, fluctuations in water quality, water changes and maintenance
may temporarily alter the performance of the protein skimmer.
8. Plug in and switch on the quaRay MiniLED lighting system.
USEFULTIP: The quaRay MiniLED lighting system incorporates a
"moonlight mode" which is perfect for night viewing. Please see separate
lighting instructions for further details.
C UTION: Due to the size of this tank, the MicroHabitat 30 is NOT
suitable for keeping all species of ornamental aquarium fish (see "suitable
species list" on back cover). If you plan to introduce livestock to this
MicroHabitat such as small fish, micro invertebrates or micro corals,
please ensure you thoroughly research the habitat requirements of the
livestock, i.e. the required temperature and water parameters, before
introducing them into this tank. If in any doubt check with your local
aquatic retailer.
We also highly recommend that you purchase a good marine keeping
reference book to gain further knowledge on how to keep your marine
livestock in optimum condition and to ensure an enjoyable and successful
marine-keeping experience.
