Use with ozone
skimmers are suitable for use with ozone and will automatically suck the gas through the venturi hose. A maximum volume of 25 mg/h should be
used on tank volumes that are suitable for this skimmer. Do not use excessive ozone, as it is dangerous and can cause severe headaches.
Maintenance
The skimmer range should require very little adjustment and maintenance due to the high levels of calcium in marine aquariums and large volumes of
air drawn in, it is common for deposits to accumulate. Regular introduction of a small amount of RO water into the inlet tap whilst running may help to prevent
any build up of salt and debris in the venturi.
The MCE 600 is fitted with an Deltec pump, Deltec pumps are fitted with a little flap inside the outlet of the pump, which flips from one side to the other
depending on the direction of rotation thus ensuring that the pump always operates at full duty. This is illustrated on the attached drawing. It is recommended
every 3 months to strip down the pump to check and clean the impellor of debris. Ensure that the direction flap moves easily and if necessary soak the neck of
the pump housing in white vinegar or kettle scale remover.
