RORPS5000&6000EXT

Thank you for purchasing “SUPER REEF OCTUPUS” protein skimmer. For optimum performance and safety, please read this instruction manual carefully and keep it handy for future reference. RO-RPS-5000Ext/ RO-RPS-6000Ext External skimmer Function of protein skimmer: Protein skimmer are applied to most saltwater aquarium to remove certain organic compounds, including proteins and amino acids, by using the polarity of the protein itself, from the water to stop most of them decomposing into nitrogenous waste. Because of the intrinsic charge, water-borne proteins are attracted to the air-water interface. Protein skimmers works by infecting numerous tiny bubbles into the water chamber, which present an enormous air-water interface for the protein molecules to cling to. The more tiny bubbles reside in the chamber, the more proteins it absorbs. Protein skimming is the only way of physical filtration that get rid of the organic compounds before its decomposition, lightening the load on the biological filter and improving the water’s redox potential.

Power on, Turning the gate valve to adjust the water level for skimming. Maintenance Collection Cup: It should be taken away to clean up at least once a week, depend on the organic load. Cleaning will enhance the extraction substantially. Reaction Chamber: Internal clean up every 6 months for once. Safety Tips 1. Do not allow the skimmer pump to run dry. 2. Do not touch the plug with wet hands 3. Do not clean the skimmer with any chemicals that alcohol or ammonia, or it will make the animals in the tank in danger.
