Setup Using Maxi-Jet Powerhead
Note: The skimmer does not come completely disaessbled, like in the video. The GuppyGuard™ Topper is not shown in the video. It will begin shipping with the skimmer in 2023. Please contact us, if you did not recieve one and we will send you one free-of-charge.
Media Change and Clean
Note: Always turn off pump when removing the skimmer from it's suction source. Do not reuse soiled filter pads, unless they are washable. Do not rinse the sponge in tap water. Use aquarium or RO water instead.
Stand Installation
Note: Almost any pump can be used with the stand set up if the pump flow rate is less than 230 GPH. In the video, we are using a Maxi-Jet 600. The Syncra 0.5 also works really well. The stand set up is very quiet, since the pump can be located on the bottom of the tank.
