Cleaning or Replacing Media
1. Move the filter to an appropriate area convenient for maintenance.
2. Loosen and remove the eight lid fasteners; remove the filter lid and set aside. Be careful not
to damage the inlet stem connected to the lid.
3. Using the red T-handles, lift the three media baskets from the filter canister; let the T-handles
fall out of their slots, and separate the baskets.
4. Remove all foam inserts from the media baskets, rinse using aquarium or de-chlorinated tap
water, or replace with new foam, as required.
5. Rinse biological media with aquarium water, or replace, as required.
6. Replace chemical media, as needed. Chemical media cannot be cleaned.
7. Empty and rinse the filter canister. NEVER use soap
or detergents when cleaning the canister or rinsing the
baskets, as remaining traces of cleaning products may
damage sensitive fish tissue.
8. Replace foam inserts and filter media in the
appropriate areas of the baskets. Arrange foam
inserts carefully, being certain that each piece covers the
entire half-circle of the basket from bottom to top. Be
sure to leave at least 0.5 in. (1cm) of free space on the
top of filter media so that baskets will stack properly.
