Then, there is the pure water chamber (Fig. 2, No. 5) containing a pump which transports water
back into the aquarium. Simultaneously, it carries out a reef flushing. This reduces deposits at
inaccessible places behind the decoration. The pump has to be connected with a piece of tube and
inserted into the chamber by putting the tube through the designated bore hole (Fig. 2, No. 6).
It has to be taken care that the water level in the aquarium remains constant. Otherwise, the
pump in the pure water chamber may temporarily run dry and cause strong noises. Therefore, it is
important to refill evaporated water regularly.
The filtration chamber can be extended by using our nitratereductor, calcium reactor or phosphate
filter.
7. Operation of the aquarium
For the optimum health of your aquarium's livestock we recommend our REEF LIFE water
conditioners:
REEF LIFE CALCIUM provides calcium and trace elements to the aquarium.
REEF LIFE IODINE is an essential trace element for corals.
If both conditioners are used in combination and regularly, they guarantee for a successful sea
water aquaristic.
To minimize algae problems through silicic acid, phosphate and nitrate, prepare the sea water with
osmosis water only. Sea salt supplied by AB Aqua Medic consists of salt of high purity. It helps to
keep the level of harmful substances low.
Phosphate problems can be solved by using the efficient absorber antiphos. antired proved to be
good in eliminating slime algae.
Rock constructions and corals can be safely fixed by using the underwater adhesive REEF
CONSTRUCT. The REEF HOLDER from AB Aqua Medic is a useful accessory for the creation of
overhangs. With this holder, rocks can easily be hung up at the back wall of PERCULA.
