Technical Details:

Fauna Marin Multifilter 3.0 L:

Base: 24 x 14 cm
Height: 50 cm
Filter media capacity: approximately 3.0 L
Includes controllable pump

Installation

Place the filter in the sump and connect the supplied pump (Sicce 1.0) with the screw connection. Ensure that the feed pump provides its full capacity (see the manual attached to the pump).
If possible, install the filter before a skimmer. This results in particularly rapid nutrient breakdown.

The water level should not exceed 25-30 cm.

Remove the upper central screw and the installed screen and fill the prepared filter material into the filter. Then replace the screen in the reverse order and only tighten the screw lightly.

It is important that the multi-filter stands upright.

Now, start the pump and ensure that the filter material moves. Make sure that the filter never stops and that the pump always provides a sufficient water flow.

Weekly Tasks

Cleaning the top screen
Cleaning the outlet holes
Cleaning the outer side walls of the filter

Every 2 weeks

Clean the feed pump

Every 3-4 weeks

Remove and clean the lower screen
To do this, open the central screw of the central holding tube (PVC) and remove the top screen. Now unscrew the lower screen from the central tube (the thread is at the bottom). After cleaning, you can reassemble the filter in reverse order.
It is very important that the return water flows over the side walls of the filter. Proper recirculation means that the water is re-oxygenated, which was depleted during nutrient breakdown.

The flow control on the suction side of the pump allows precise adjustment of the flow rate, thus ensuring quiet operation of the filter.
