TMC Aquarium REEF-Filter 50 Instructions Pour L'installation Et L'utilisation page 7

SET UP - REEF-FILTER 1000
• Screw the pump connector into the outlet of the pump and connect to the filter by firmly
pushing the connector and pump into the inlet hole on the base of the REEF-Filter.
• Position the REEF-Filter in a clean area of your sump where it will be easy to remove for
changing media and maintenance. The water depth should be at least 10cm.
• Unscrew the 5 lid thumb screws, turn the lid anti-clockwise and lift to remove.
• Fill the main body with the desired amount of media as per the manufacturer's instructions.
• Insert the sponge in the top of the filter body - this will help stop any stray media from escaping
the filter. Clean this sponge periodically to ensure the flow through the reactor remains constant.
• Replace lid back on the REEF-Filter, over the 5 thumb screws. Ensure the O ring is in place.
(This will need re-lubricating with a thin layer of silicon grease - sold separately - from time to time).
• Tighten each thumb screw evenly, giving them each a half turn at a time.
• Attach the rigid pipe (or flexible pipe - not supplied) to the outlet and then push the pipe
elbow into the pipe on top of the REEF-Filter lid. Position pipework as required.

• Set pump to the lowest flow
setting before turning on. Switch
on pump and adjust flow to suit
media type. Typically phosphate
removers and carbon need to be
just 'simmering'. This will help stop
any clouding from this type of
media. If you wish to use a pellet
type of media you will need a little
more flow so the pellets are
moving slowly, but not aggressively.
