| The In-Tank Refugium or "Safe House" is designed to provide a culturing area for macro algae or small organisms intended to be provided as a food source for fish and other carnivores within the main portion of the aquarium. The In-Tank Refugium also functions as a protected area to acclimate newly added fish or invertebrates or to allow for damaged fish or corals to regenerate damaged tissue without the need for a separate quarantine tank. The versatility, ease of use, and full circulation employed by the In-Tank Refugium will surely meet the needs of every aquarist.
Installation Instructions:
1) Carefully remove all packaging and inspect the unit for damaged or missing parts.You should have:
- (1) In-Tank Refugium body
- (1) Powerhead box
- (4) Suction Cups
2) Place the four suction cups firmly into the keyholes.
3) Open the powerhead box and locate the outlet adapter in the bag of accessories. Insert larger side into the powerhead.
4) Insert the unplugged powerhead into any hole on either side of the refugium.
5) Place the refugium inside your aquarium against a wall so that the top edge of the box is slightly above the water level.
6) If adding substrate, it is important to unplug the powerhead before doing so. Substrate should be rinsed well before being added to the refugium.
NOTE: Lighter substrate may be blown around by the flow of the powerhead.
