Eshopps Hang-On Protein Skimmer

Hobby-level hang-on skimmer boasts performance and easy installation. Eshopps protein skimmers are designed with simplicity in mind to satisfy the skimming needs of saltwater aquarists with a bit of aquarium "know-how." Included silent-running Italian Sicce pump features a needle-wheel impeller that vigorously mixes air and water to create a flurry of waste-removing bubbles. Improves water quality and oxygen levels in saltwater aquariums.

Eshopps Hang-On Protein Skimmer features a removable collection cup for convenient skimmer maintenance and disposal of collected waste material. Adjustment knob fine-tunes water level within the protein skimmer reaction chamber for optimal performance. Quality acrylic-construction.

Note: Turn off protein skimmer prior to feeding or supplementation. Wait 30 to 45 minutes before turning protein skimmer back on to minimize excess/wet foam production.

Note: Please ensure proper placement and positioning of gasket and impeller during maintenance for proper operation.

Set Up for Hang-on Protein Skimmer

• Hang skimmer on back of the aquarium.
• Get a cup to fill main body with water up to the middle.
• Bend the air intake hose so no air can get through.
• While bending the hose, plug the electric cord into the wall. Wait until the water level reaches almost to the neck and then release the air hose. The skimmer should start running by now.
• Water level can be adjusted by using the adjusting knob. Note: IF the water level is too high, it will cause the skimmer to overflow.

Maintenance
Clean the pump and air intake adaptor every 2 to 3 months to prevent calcium build up.
