5. Pokyny k nastavení
Follow these steps to set up your hygger HOB filter:
- Assemble the Intake Tube: Connect the extendable intake tube to the filter unit. If desired, attach the guard sponge to the bottom of the intake tube.
- Instalace filtračního média: Place the bio-filter plate into the designated slot within the filter chamber. Then, insert the filter cartridge on top of the bio-filter plate.
- Mount the Filter: Hang the filter unit onto the back of your aquarium. Adjust the leveling knob to ensure the filter sits securely and level on the tank rim. The filter is designed for tank rims up to 0.8 inches thick.
- Adjust Intake Tube Length: Extend or retract the intake tube so that the bottom of the guard sponge is positioned appropriately within the tank, ensuring good water circulation without touching the substrate.
- Naplňte filtr: Before plugging in, fill the filter chamber with aquarium water until it reaches the 'MIN. Water Level' mark on the intake tube. This primes the pump and prevents dry running.
- Připojte napájení: Once the filter is primed and securely mounted, plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
