MAINTENANCE
If the lter starts to drip from the right side
(Figure 10) of the return ow wall, it indicates
that the lter media basket is completely
clogged. Water in this case is bypassing
lter media and a thorough cleaning is
necessary to maintain the overall health of
the aquarium.
To service the pump, proceed as follows
(Figure 11): Press the side of the lter
(1), pull down on the pump housing (2),
pull the power cord from the lter body
and push the pump to the right until it
clicks and releases (3). For Tidal 55 units,
gently pull the intake cover of the pump
(4, Figure 11-B) away. This will reveal the
impeller (5).
