INSTALLATION AND USE
1. Place the two rim connectors over the back top edge of the aquarium. Place one just above the spot where you
want to place the intake tube; place the other just over the spot where you want to position the output nozzle. Be
sure that the long end of the bracket is on the inside of the aquarium.
The rubber rings on the connectors are designed to help them adhere to tank glass better.
If the aquarium walls are thinner than 5/8 in. (1.58 cm) replace the rubber ring with the four smaller suction cups
provided.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to position the intake tube away from any air source—an air stone, an aeration device,
protein skimmer or the output valve. Air entering the intake strainer will diminish filter efficiency.
1. Prepare intake connections
1. Connect the hosing to one of the two valves (marked "IN"):
A. Loosen one of the metal clamps, and slide it onto one end of the hosing (the
rubber part).
B. Push the end of the hosing onto the valve; push it all the way, as far as it
will go.
C. Position the metal clamp over the rubber connector, and tighten.
2. Measure and cut the hosing. You will need a length of hosing that reaches
comfortably from inside the aquarium to the filter canister.
IMPORTANT:
Hosing should follow a straight path from the filter to the
aquarium rim, with no slack and no loops. If the hosing is too long, the filter
will not work efficiently (the maximum length of the hosing is 6.5 ft / 2m).
D. Place the valve end of the hosing at the approximate spot where it will
be positioned on the filter lid (once the filter is installed).
E. Stretch out the hosing so it rests over the "intake"rim bracket.
F. At a spot at least 6 in. (15cm) beyond the aquarium rim, use a utility
knife to cut the hosing. Do not cut it too short. Remember, you can
always cut it shorter during final installation, if necessary.

Alternate Configurations
Note: A dropped ledge rim requires purchase of an extra rim
connector. (See "Replacement Parts" for ordering information.)
3. Push the cut end of this "intake" hosing into the rubber connector on
the intake tube. Push the hosing in by at least 1 in. (2.5cm) without
twisting it.
4. Place the intake strainer in the tank, making sure it is at least 3 in. (7.5
cm) from the bottom. Adjust the intake tube for the best extension for
your aquarium, respecting the 3 in. (7.5 cm) from the bottom rule. Once
the intake strainer is properly positioned, lock it in place by pressing the
suction cups against the glass.
5. Fasten the intake strainer's hosing onto the rim connector using the
three rim connector clips.
5. Prepare output connections
1. Connect the hosing to the second valve

:
A. Loosen the second metal clamp, and slide it onto the factory-finished end
of the hosing (not the cut end).
B. Push the end of the hosing onto the valve; push it all the way, as far as
it will go.
C. Position the metal clamp over the rubber connector, and tighten.
2. Measure and cut the hosing. Again, you will need a length of hosing
that reaches comfortably from inside the aquarium to the filter canister.
IMPORTANT:
Hosing should follow a straight path from the filter to the
aquarium rim, with no slack and no loops. If the hose is too long, the
filter will not work efficiently.
D. Place the valve end of the hosing at the approximate spot where it will be
positioned on the filter lid (once the filter is installed).
E. Stretch out the hosing so it rests over the "output"rim bracket.

to cut the hosing. Do not cut it too short. Remember, you can always cut

4. Place the nozzle in the tank about 1 in. (2.5cm) below the water line.
5. Fasten the hosing to the "output" bracket using the three rim connector
