The primary benefit is to elevate the protein skimmer to its optimal operating height within the sump, ensuring maximum efficiency in waste removal and consistent performance.
The Mantis Protein Skimmer Adjustable Platform Stands are designed with an adjustable platform, allowing for fine-tuning the skimmer's position relative to the water level.
The stand is designed to accommodate a wide range of protein skimmers. It is recommended to measure your skimmer's base and your sump's dimensions to ensure compatibility.
Consult your protein skimmer's manual for the manufacturer's recommended water operating level. Generally, the water level in the sump should be just below the skimmer's intake.
The 19cm height is fixed. If your sump's water level is consistently lower than this, the stand may not be suitable without additional modifications or risers.
Clean the stand with fresh water and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
Ensure the skimmer is positioned at the correct water level. The water level in the sump should typically be just below the skimmer's intake. Adjust the stand's height or add/remove shims as needed.
Verify that the skimmer's base is fully supported by the platform and that the platform itself is level on the sump floor. Ensure no debris is obstructing a stable placement.
Use a flexible brush or sponge with fresh water. For stubborn buildup, a mild vinegar solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse with fresh water.
Setup: Place the Mantis Protein Skimmer Adjustable Platform Stand on the bottom of your aquarium sump. Position your protein skimmer onto the platform, ensuring it sits level and securely. Adjust the platform's height if necessary to achieve the desired water level around the skimmer intake. Refer to your protein skimmer's manual for recommended operating water levels.
Compatibility: This stand is designed to accommodate a wide range of protein skimmers. However, it is recommended to measure the base of your specific protein skimmer and compare it with the platform dimensions to ensure a proper fit. The 19cm height is a fixed dimension, so ensure this suits your sump's water depth.
Care: Clean the stand regularly with fresh water to prevent salt buildup. A soft brush can be used to remove any debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the material. Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage.
