There are two factors affecting the water level inside the filtration
chamber:
1. Overall water volume in the system
2. Over-flow box position
NOTE Over-flow box positioning should be adjusted regularly
according to the water level in the aquarium. As a
general rule, the top surface of the teeth of the over-
flow box should be positioned at the water surface
At this point of set up, the water level inside the filtration chamber
should be up to 1 cm (0.4 inch) below the plastic rim and the
black covers of the pumps as can be seen through the Filter
compartment water level viewer. This is the Maximum water
level (Fig 36).
Lift up the over flow box to start surface skimming. The water
level in the pump chamber will drop to the middle of the pump
body; this is the optimal water level for operation (Fig 37). If the
water level drops below the pump body, lower the over-flow
box as necessary to raise the water level.
