- Assemble Skimmer Cup: Ensure the skimmer cup is securely seated on the skimmer body.
- Attach Air Silencer: Connect the air hose from the skimmer to the air silencer.
- Ịkwanye: The skimmer uses a waterproof magnetic connection system. Place the skimmer inside your aquarium or sump, ensuring the magnet mount is aligned with the external magnet on the glass. The system is rated for glass up to 15 mm (0.6 inches) thick.

- Nkwanye: Position the skimmer in an area with good water flow, typically in a sump or directly in the display tank. Ensure the skimmer is fully submerged to the recommended water level indicated on the unit.
- Initial Water Level Adjustment: Adjust the height of the skimmer or the water level in your sump so that the water line inside the skimmer body is at the 'WATER LEVEL' indicator. This is a crucial step for optimal performance.

Ntuziaka ọrụ
- Ike Na: Once the skimmer is correctly installed and submerged, connect the power plug to an electrical outlet. The pump will start, and bubbles will begin to form.
- Oge nkwụsị: A new skimmer typically requires a break-in period of several days to a few weeks. During this time, micro-bubbles may be excessive, and skimmate production might be inconsistent. This is normal as a biofilm develops on the internal surfaces.
- Adjusting Skimmate Consistency:
- Wet Skim: For lighter, more frequent skimmate, raise the internal water level by adjusting the height-adjustable water inlet or the skimmer's position.
- Dry Skim: For darker, thicker skimmate, lower the internal water level.
- Ozone Compatibility: The Sicce Shark Nano Protein Skimmer 300 is ozone compatible. If using ozone, ensure proper safety precautions and follow the ozone generator's instructions.
Nlekọta
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your protein skimmer.
- Empty Skimmer Cup: The skimmer cup should be emptied regularly, typically every few days or as it fills. The frequency depends on the bioload of your aquarium. Rinse the cup with fresh water.
- Clean Skimmer Neck: Wipe the inside of the skimmer neck to prevent organic buildup, which can impede foam production.
- Impeller and Pump Cleaning: Periodically (e.g., monthly or bi-monthly), disconnect the skimmer from power and remove the pump. Disassemble the pump and clean the impeller and pump housing using the provided cleaning brush and fresh water. The self-cleaning impeller design helps reduce the frequency of this task.

- Air Silencer Maintenance: Check the air silencer and air line for blockages or salt creep. Clean as necessary to ensure unrestricted air intake.
Nchọpụta nsogbu
| Nsogbu | Ihe nwere ike ime | Ngwọta |
|---|---|---|
| No or few bubbles | Air line kinked or blocked; Impeller clogged; Pump not running; Low water level. | Check air line and silencer for obstructions. Clean impeller and pump. Ensure power is connected. Adjust water level to recommended height. |
| Excessive micro-bubbles in aquarium | New skimmer break-in period; Water level too high; Air intake too high. | Allow break-in period. Lower internal water level. Reduce air intake via silencer valve. Ensure proper placement away from return pumps. |
| Skimmer overflowing | Water level too high; Introduction of new chemicals/foods; Air intake too low. | Lower internal water level. Temporarily turn off skimmer if dosing. Increase air intake. |
| Poor skimmate production | Skimmer not broken in; Water level too low; Insufficient air; Low organic load. | Allow break-in. Raise internal water level. Check air line/silencer. If organic load is low, skimmer will produce less. |
| Ọrụ dara ụda | Impeller obstruction; Vibration. | Clean impeller. Ensure skimmer is securely mounted and not touching other equipment. Check O-rings. |
