Frequently Asked Questions - Slim Skim Nano Ferplast
How to install the Slim Skim Nano in my aquarium?
Attach the skimmer to the back of the aquarium using the provided suction cups. Adjust the height so that the water line is at the immersion mark. Then plug in the pump.
How to adjust the foam produced by the skimmer?
Use the air adjustment knob to adjust the amount of bubbles. A wet foam (fine bubbles) indicates a good setting. Adjust according to the color of the foam in the collection cup.
Why is my skimmer not producing foam?
Check that the pump is submerged and working. Clean the air intake and impeller. Make sure the water level is correct. A new aquarium may take a few days to produce organic waste.
What regular maintenance is needed?
Clean the collection cup and inner chamber every 1 to 2 weeks. Rinse the impeller with fresh water. Check the seals and replace if worn.
The skimmer is noisy, what should I do?
Check that the suction cups are firmly attached and that the device is not vibrating against the glass. Clean the impeller as it may be clogged. If the noise persists, the pump may be defective.
What aquarium volume is suitable for the Slim Skim Nano?
It is designed for nano aquariums from 20 to 100 liters. Beyond that, efficiency decreases. For a larger volume, choose a more powerful model.
Can I clean the pump with chemicals?
No, use only fresh water. Chemicals can damage the seals and pollute the aquarium. A soak in diluted white vinegar can dissolve limescale.
How to replace the skimmer pump?
Unplug the device, open the pump compartment, disconnect the tubes, and replace the old pump with a new one of the same reference. Reassemble and test.
The skimmer sometimes stops, why?
This may be due to a clogged impeller or a water level that is too low. Check the air intake and clean. If the problem persists, the pump may be faulty.
Where to find spare parts for the Slim Skim Nano?
Spare parts (pump, O-ring, suction cups) are available from authorized Ferplast dealers or on the official website. Always use original parts.
