4. n 1802 aquarium protein skimmer removes the proteins and other organic wastes from the aquarium before they have a chance to break down into more harmful elements such as ammonia and nitrite Removing these wastes also helps prevent algae build up as does the reduction in phosphates Protein skimmers are also helpful in removing any toxins released from corals or invertebrates in the aquarium As a result of these effects the water quality is therefore improved and less frequent water changes are necessary Protein skimmers have an added advantage in increasing the amount of oxygen in the water Many saltwater aquariums could benefit greatly from having a skimmer B Operating Principle A protein skimmer works by creating tiny bubbles in a collection chamber Organic waste materials adhere to these bubbles through a chemical process called adsorption The bubbles propel the waste materials up to the surface of the collection chamber where dissolved protein and other contaminants are physically removed from the water column and contained in the collection cup By generating millions of air bubbles protein skimmers also replenish oxygen levels in the entire aquarium Elevated oxygen levels and proper gas exchange help maintain a stable pH by counteracting the pH lowering effects of carbon dioxide that can occur at night Benefits of Protein Skimming Remove organic wastes Decrease algae build up Lower phosphates Remove toxins Reduce wate

7. um Performance As a new protein skimmer 1802 requires a break in period of about 1 2 weeks before it reaches optimum performance During this time you will make adjustments to optimize the air water mix VI Maintenance Without a properly functioning protein skimmer your aquarium could suffer from a loss of water quality due to a buildup of waste products such as ammonia and nitrate These added pollutants will make the aquarium s filtration system less effective and will compromise water quality and inhabitant health Water pump maintenance A Unplug the power cord Unplug the power cord before servicing the unit B Detachthe water pump from the skimmer C Clean the filter foam Take the filter foam off from the pump and clean it weekly or whenever it becomes dirty or clogged D Clean the tube Clean the tube under running water You could use a cotton swab or something soft in the ends to clean it Do not use soap or detergent E Reassemble the pump 1802 skimmer maintenance A Check the collection chamber Make sure the skimmer is properly pushing the waste materials called skimmate to the top The collection chamber should be foaming with bubbles which trap organic waste generated by your aquarium inhabitants through a process called adsorption The neck of the collection chamber should be cleaned 1 2 times a week to avoid a buildup of organic matter on the sides This buildup can act as a wax inside the chamber
8. will be bubbles instead of foam if your aquarium is not full of organic wastes So this is normal situation if the skimmer is just employed in your aquarium for a short time period If you have used the skimmer for quite a long time please keep the upper chamber maintained regularly so that your aquarium can stay clean and your fishes can remain energetic C The water leaks out of the top The skimmer comes with a 300GPH pump which is supposed to be of optimum effect when being used together So it will be better that users do not change the pump to one with much higher or lower flux or it will be overpowered or leak as a result If the pump can not work properly we suggest you replace it to one with 250 350GPH flux Please note that a pump of higher than 350GPH flux is not recommended for the best effect Besides the skimming system is designed for aquarium with 40 80 gal capacity So if your aquarium is with much lower or higher capacity please get another one to match your needs or there will be little effect on your fishes corals water plants etc Also leaking will be arising if you install it in a much smaller aquarium D Not work Please check if the pump and the skimmer are installed and connected properly Reassemble them according to the instructions above Make sure the pump is totally immersed in the water 5 Yescom USA Inc AQUARIUM PROTEIN SKIMMER WITH 300GPH PUMP And please keep the outlet nozzle as well
