BERMUDA
ROGUE
SIMPLE INSTALLATION
-
Remove protective packaging.
-
Place Hang-on skimmer on the back of the tank.
-
Using a reputable pump rated for 350 to
450 gallons per hour at 0 feet, plumb to skimmer using ¾" ID vinyl tubing.
-
BEFORE TURNING ON THE PUMP, Turn gate valve
clockwise to open, then turn on the pump.
-
Adjust the water level in the skimmer by
turning the dial counter clockwise.
-
Set the water level just below the neck of the
cup.
-
A drain fitting has been included to
accommodate the collection cup, and can be plumbed to a waste collection
chamber of much large capacity.
-
Typically the initial skimmate will appear
wetter in consistency until the tank is established.
-
Also, beware of additives to your tank, and
water changes, the imbalance and inconsistency that is created by the change
in water density will cause the skimmer to react by either reducing skimmate
production momentarily, or by over skimming to remove the substance causing
the imbalance.
-
The skimmer could take between 5 minute and 72
hours to break in, depending on the conditions of your tank.
-
And up to 2 weeks if your tank is new and
un-established.
-
Once the tank is established and the skimmer
has been adjusted to accommodate your tank size and pump, the water level will
no longer need to be adjusted.
-
The only maintenance that will be required at
that time, will be removing waste collected in the cup.
-
Please refer to the owner’s manual for the
pump instructions, installation and maintenance.
