JUWEL SeaSkim

The JUWEL SeaSkim combines the product benefits of an internal skimmer characterised by the fact that no water exits the
aquarium with a compact shape and high skimming capacity.

With output of 1500 l/h, the integrated pump air intake of 150 l/h and consequently ensures effective protein skimming for
seawater aquariums with a volume of 100 - 500 litres. However, the JUWEL SeaSkim does not serve as filter system
replacement in the seawater aquarium.

The skimming utilises the fact that many so-called surface-active substances accumulate at the boundary between water and
air, especially in saltwater. This includes proteins and their first stages of decomposition (these contain the undesired elements
nitrogen and phosphorus), but also smallest dirt particles (solids) etc.

Installation in JUWEL aquariums

The JUWEL SeaSkim is intended for installation in the JUWEL Rio, Lido, Vision and Trigon aquariums. These Juwel aquariums
are characterised by the fact that an opening for the SeaSkim is already available and closed by means of a cap. Remove the
cap closing the cover

Recommendation: Flap set for JUWEL SeaSkim

If the cover of y our JUWEL aquarium does not include a special opening for SeaSkim, we rec ommend that you contact your
specialist retailer.

The matching flap set for SeaSkim can be purchased there as an original JUWEL spare part.

Installation of the mount for the JUWEL SeaSkim

The SeaSkim is permanently installed by means of the mount included in the delivery . This ensures the correct position in the
aquarium and consequently optimum skimming results. The aquarium should be emptied to such an extent that you may wipe the
panes dry.

You achieve the correct position by using the enclosed template for positioning the mount.

1. Initially fold the template at the designated lines and align it in the manner detailed below.

2. Aquarium model RIO, LIDO, VISION:
Hang the template from the inside over the edge of the frame of the left side pane and align it at the rear left corner (ref. figure
A).

2. Aquarium model TRIGON:
Hang the template with a distance of 25 cm to the rear outer edge of the frame from the inside over the edge of the frame of the
left side pane (ref. figure B).

3. Secure the template by means of an adhesive strip in order to avoid shifting.
