4. Set-up
The Turboflotor Multi SL is a skimmer that can be set up in various ways:
1. As an external skimmer, directly mounted on the aquarium: "Hang on", (Fig. 3/Fig. 4).
2. For use in the cabinet filter (Fig. 5)
- next to the filter tank
- in the filter tank

Set up as an external skimmer on the aquarium - Hang on (Fig. 3)
Assemble the necessary parts of the skimmer, (see Fig. 1). Now, it can be attached to the
aquarium. Look for a protected place within easy reach - at the side or the back. The venturi pump
(11) is connected with the pressure tube (10). The length of the flexible tubing (10) should be as
short as possible. The pump must be placed directly below the water surface because the air intake
will decrease if it is mounted deeper. A 6-mm air tube is connected to the air inlet nozzle (13) and
fixed above the water level so the pump can draw in air. Use the full length of the air hose which is
attached to the silencer (15). This will be put to the holding plate and fixed outside, above the
water level.
We recommend securing the hose with the clips provided. Now, the skimmer can be aligned with
the aquarium. The two screws at the bottom of the skimmer are adjusted in such a way that the
skimmer is hanging safely on the aquarium. It is advantageous if the skimmer is not 100% upright,
but leaning slightly (2%) to the aquarium (Fig. 3). The skimmer is not only hanging more safely
then, but also back-flow of water from the outflow box over the aquarium frame is prevented. Both
adjusting screws at the bottom are supplied with silicone suction cups for increased safety.
The skimmer is now ready for use and can be started.
