USER MANUAL skimmarine 600 EHEIM

for purchasing your new skimmarine600 sea water skimmer.

The innovative EHEIM SKIMmarine600 skimmer in combination with the EHEIM compactON marine2500 skimmer pump offers ideal performance coupled with the highest standards of reliability and the greatest possible effectiveness. The EHEIM skimmarine600 protein skimmer quickly and reliably rids your sea water aquarium from organic and inorganic protein compounds. The protein compounds, which originate from feed residues, dead microorganisms and excretions from fish and invertebrates, form deposits on the air bubbles, created by the EHEIM compactON marine2500 skimmer pump, by means of static attraction and / or adsorption and are removed from the aquarium water together with dirt particles, dead cells of bacteria, algae, etc. as dirt foam (suspended material). This prevents bacteria degrading the protein compounds in the aquarium and hence polluting the aquarium water with contaminants.

B Assembly

(a) Loosen the four knurled screws ⑥ and lift off the skimmer housing ⑤.
(b)Loosen the Phillips screws ⑰ of the pump holder ②
Insert the skimmer pump, fit the pump holder on the left and right in the side groove of the pump and secure it to the base plate using the Phillips screws.
d Place the reaction chamber 19 on the pump discharge and secure it to the pump connection with the connecting piece 2. Then secure the reaction chamber lid 8 using the knurled screw 7.
Before the assembly of the reaction chamber observe the following: It is imperative that the lid of the reaction chamber is fitted in such a way that the section of the reaction chamber cover that has no apertures is located directly over the pump outlet.

Fit the skimmer housing to the skimmer plate again and tighten the four securing screws.
Fit the silencer using the plastic screw on the edge of the housing and connect it to the diffusor nozzle via the air hose.
h With slight pressure, insert the diffusor nozzle into the pump inlet of the skimmer pump.
① Guide the precision control valve ⑩ through the eyelet on the skimmer housing. Fit the small gear wheel with screw ⑪ meshing with the large gear wheel ⑮ under the skimmer plate ⑱ of the skimmer. Fit the sealing ring ④ to the bottom of the foam cup ②. Fit the foam cup and secure it by turning the bayonet fixing ③ anticlockwise.

TIP: The foam cup has a connecting piece for a suspended material drain.

C Positioning of the Skimmer

Place the skimmer in the filter tank.

In order to ensure optimum operation, the water level in the filter tank should be 180 to 240~mm . Given that changes in the water level directly affect skimming, the use of an automatic level control, EHEIM water refill Type 3548, is recommended.

Tip: Changes in the water level directly affect the operation of the protein skimmer. Therefore, we recommend the use of the EHEIM water refill Type 3548 automatic level control.

D Setting the skimmer

④First, fully open the precision control valve and then stat the pump. Slowly close the precision control valve until the water in the skimmer levels out between the bayonet fixing and the foam cup. Half open the air intake valve (turn the air metering screw ②8 anticlockwise 1 - 2 mm upwards) and leave it in this position for 1-2 days (start-up phase).

Once foam begins to form after the start-up phase, the fine adjustment for the optimum skimming can be made by adjusting the air supply valve and the precision control valve.

For dry skimming, turn the precision control valve clockwise and open the water outlet. For moist skimming, turn the precision control valve anticlockwise and close the water outlet. The EHEIM skimmarine600 can be operated with ozone up to a maximum of 50mg/hour using a suitable silicon hose.

Tip: Ozone volumes of 5-10mg/hour per 100 litres of seawater. Fit the T-piece to the air intake on the pump. Connect one end of the T-piece to the silencer, the other end to the ozone device. The ozone extraction is significantly improved by reducing the air intake (closing the air intake valve).

E Care Instructions

Remove calcification on components of the skimmer caused by coralline red algae and such like by submerging the parts in question in a 10% citric acid solution. Then rinse thoroughly with water. On no accounts use washing up liquid or other detergents to clean the skimmer or its components; only use tap water.

None of the parts of the protein skimmer are suitable for dishwashers.
