User Manual
Slightly higher temperatures can be tolerated for short periods
of time as long as the change in temperature is steady and not
sudden. Monitor the temperature at least twice a day, looking
for dramatic fluctuations.
Avoid temperature differences of more than 2°C / 7°F during the
day. During season changes and when heating or cooling the
house, monitor the tank temperature more frequently, adjusting
the heater as necessary.
If the water temperature falls below 24°C / 76°F
1. Lift the skimmer cover and gently lift the heater enough to
see its operation light.
2. Turn the thermostat control knob to raise the temperature
by 2°C / 7°F.
3. One hour later, test the temperature again. Never change
the temperature by more than 2°C / 7°F at a time.
If the water temperature rises above 28°C / 82°F for more than
a day.
Monitor the room temperature over a 24 hour period. If the MAX
is located in a closed room without sufficient ventilation, the
ambient room temperature can slowly rise causing a subsequent
rise in aquarium water temperature.
The MAX has been designed to accommodate the addition of a
water cooling fan and water chiller to maintain the correct water
temperature.
When the MAX is running in an environment with a steady
ambient temperature from 23 25 °C / 73 - 77°F, turn on the
cooling fan located at the back of the aquarium. It will keep the
aquarium water below 27°C / 81°F. Above an ambient temperature
of 26°C / 78°F, a chiller of at least 1/10 HP should be used.
Installing a chiller with the Accessory kit
MAX accessory kit provides an easy and convenient way to secure
the inlet and outlet pipes of additional equipment such as water
chiller to the MAX .The Accessory kit consists of a bracket that
snaps into position in the frame above the back wall of the MAX
and 2 bayoneted hose barb connectors.
1. Attach approx 10cm (4) of ½flexible pipe to the outlet of
the chiller pump (not provided). Attach one of the bayoneted
hose barbs to the free end of the tube.
2. Position the chiller pump in the triangle-shaped niche formed
by the skimmer and the heater chamber wall and feed its
power cord through the window in the back wall.
3. Connect the inlet and outlet flexible pipes of the chiller to
the hose barbs on the bracket and secure in position with the
lock-nuts.
