Coralife Super Skimmer Needle Wheel Protein Skimmer

Patented needle-wheel system with aspirating Venturi creates micro-bubbles to vigorously remove dissolved proteins. Unparalleled water/air mixture means greater foam production, and angled dual injection outlets increase contact time within reaction chamber. Adjustable water-level dial stabilizes water flow for outstanding control over foam consistency. Features bubble diffuser to prevent bubbles from flowing into your aquarium and an easy-twist collection cup with drain line (Models 125 & 220) for quick and effortless cleaning. High grade acrylic construction. Includes everything for convenient hang-on or in-sump setup.

1. Never connect the Coralife Super Skimmer to any power source while hands are wet.
2. Always unplug the unit from outlet or power source before installing, replacing parts or performing product maintenance.
3. Never allow pump to run dry. Always keep pump submerged during operation. Failure to keep pump submerged while in use may damage the unit and/or cause unit failure.
4. Always leave a drip loop in the pump cord to prevent water from running down the length of the cord and reaching the power source or outlet.
5. For added safety, the pump should be plugged into a grounded three-prong receptacle controlled by GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) circuit breaker.
6. Make sure that the Super Skimmer is securely installed before operating.

Pre-Installation Setup:
NOTE: Prepare at least 5 gallons of "make-up water" to replace water used by the Super Skimmer.

Hang-on Tank Mount Placement:

1. Allow a minimum 6" clearance between the aquarium and the wall. NOTE: Hang-on tank mounting bracket for up to 1.375" tank mouldings.
2. Ensure that there is adequate unobstructed space for the needle-wheel pump inside the aquarium (9"L x 4"W x 5"H).

Sump Hook-up Placement:
Verify that there is adequate space for the super skimmer in/or outside of the sump (12"L x 10"W).
Allow a minimum 0.5" clearance between the stand and the top of the skimmer. Make sure there is enough space to remove/slide the collection cup out of the sump.
