Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

Operating your Reef Octopus SRO-6000SSS protein skimmer involves simple adjustments to achieve efficient waste removal.

Whakaoho Tuatahi: After connecting power, the pump will begin drawing water and air. It may take several hours for the skimmer to break in and produce a stable foam.
Adjusting Foam Production: Use the gate valve output to control the water level inside the skimmer body.
- Opening the valve: Lowers the water level, producing drier foam (less liquid, more concentrated waste).
- Closing the valve: Raises the water level, producing wetter foam (more liquid, less concentrated waste).
Adjust until the foam head rises to the base of the collection cup neck.
Raukaha: This skimmer is designed for aquariums up to 600 gallons with a light bio-load, or approximately 400 gallons with a heavy bio-load. Adjustments may be needed based on your specific system's nutrient levels.

Te tiaki

Regular maintenance ensures the long-term efficiency and performance of your protein skimmer.

Collection Cup Cleaning: The collection cup should be emptied and cleaned regularly, typically every few days or as needed, depending on the bio-load of your aquarium. The quick-release neck facilitates easy removal. Rinse with fresh water.
Neck Cleaning: Periodically clean the skimmer neck below the collection cup to prevent build-up that can impede foam production.
Tiaki Puma: Every 3-6 months, or if performance degrades, disassemble and clean the Bubble Blaster 5000 pump.
- Momotuhia te mana i mua i te whakahaere i te papu.
- Remove the volute and impeller.
- Clean all components, especially the impeller and its shaft, to remove any calcium or detritus build-up. A mild acid solution (like vinegar) can be used for stubborn deposits.
- Reassemble carefully, ensuring all parts are correctly seated.
Te horoi i te hau: Check and clean the air intake line and silencer (if applicable) periodically to ensure unrestricted airflow to the pump.
