IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING – To guard against injury,basic safety precautions should be observed,including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER – To avoid possible electric shock,special care should be taken in the use of aquarium equipment.For each of the following
situations,do not attempt repairs yourself;contact an authorized service facility for service.
1.A.If an appliance falls into the water,DON'T reach for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it.If electrical components of the unit get wet,
unplug this equipment immediately.
B.If the equipment shows any sign of abnormal water leakage,immediately turn off power at main disconnect.
C.Carefully examine the equipment after installation.It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
D.Do not operate any equipment if it has a damaged cord or plug,or if it is malfunctioning or if it is damaged in any manner.
E.To avoid the possibility of the plug or receptacle getting wet,position
tank to one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from
dripping onto the receptacle or plug.A "drip loop",shown in the
Illustration at right should be arranged by the user for each cord
connecting equipment to a receptacle.The "drip loop" is that part of the
cord below the level of the receptacle or the connector,if an extension
cord is used,to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in
contact with the receptacle.If the plug or receptacle does get wet,
DON'T unplug the cord.Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that
supplies power to the appliance.Then unplug and examine for
presence of water in the receptacle.
2. Close supervision is necessary when any equipment is used by or
near children.
3. To avoid injury,do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters,reflectors,lamp bulbs,etc.
4. Always unplug this equipment from an outlet when not in use,before putting on or taking off parts,and before cleaning.Never yank
cord to pull plug from outlet.Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not use an this equipment for other than intended use.The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
6. Do not install or store the equipment where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
7. Make sure any appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
8. Read and observe all the important notices on the equipment.
9. If an extension cord is necessary,a cord with a proper rating should be used.A cord rated for
less ampere or watts than the equipment rating may overheat.Care should be taken to
arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
10. This equipment should be grounded to minimize the possibility of electric shock.This unit
is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding type plug.The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is installed and grounded
in accordance with all appropriate codes and ordinances.
11. This equipment is for use on a nominal 120 volts circuit,and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in (A).A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter
illustrated in (B) and (C) may be used to connect this plug to a two pin receptacle as shown
in (B) if a grounded outlet is not available.The temporary adapter should be used only until a grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.The green colored rigid ear (lug and the like) extending from the adapter must be fastened to a permanent ground
such as a grounded outlet box.

This manual will provide you with the information you need to successfully
operate and maintain your new ML System.Please read it carefully and keep
it for future reference.

In this closed system,refrigerated water is drawn from the enclosed Sub-Chamber up
through theAir StackTubes and into the Carbon FilterTray. As water passes through the
Carbon Filter Box,mechanical and chemical filtration are provided by a polyfiber filter
pad and eight ounces of Black Diamond PremiumActivated Carbon.The carbon adsorbs
dissolved organic compounds which cause odor and discoloration.
Filtered water spills into the display tank and is drawn through the filter bed where
biological filtration occurs. A thriving culture of beneficial nitrifying bacteria efficiently
oxidizes all ammonia and nitrite on contact.Filtered water than re-enters the Sub-Chamber
for recirculation.

INSTALLATION
Tank Preparation
1. Locate unit near a 110–120 volt grounded
outlet with a 15 amp dedicated circuit.
2. Make sureVented Panel is not obstructed.
These panels allow cooling air to reach
compressor.They also provide access to
filters,thermostat,on/off switch,drains and
other components.
3. Unpack all accessories,supplies and Upper
False Bottom from tank.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate unit on
extension cord or non-grounded circuit.
Do not handle or connect plug with wet hands.
The following simple steps are required to get your system up and
operational. Consult exploded views for any necessary clarification.

5. Set thermostat (see exploded for location) 55° F.
Leave it at that setting for 6 weeks to allow for
bacterial growth.Then reset the temperature to
45°F.See page 17 for loading temperatures.
4. Remove front Side Panels.Make sure system
components are plugged into junction box.

FILTRATION PREPARATION
NOTE: Ammonia (produced from animal waste and respiration) is the biggest killer
of aquatic animals.For this reason, biological filtration is CRITICAL.
A biological filter is a living filter...aerobic beneficial bacteria that consume animal
waste products and convert toxic ammonia to non-toxic nitrate.When properly
maintained,it keeps your product alive and healthy,your water clear.When a biological
filter is overtaxed or abused,water clarity and product longevity will be affected.
DO NOT OVERLOAD YOUR TANK...every filter requires a break-in period which
allows beneficial bacteria to take hold and grow.
We recommend that you make an effort to keep your lobster population relatively
constant.Beneficial bacteria breathe oxygen,but consume ammonia.No animals,no
ammonia.No ammonia,no bacteria.
IMPORTANT: Your system contains three types of filters
1. Mechanical – Filter pads to screen out solid waste particles.
2. Chemical – PremiumActivated Carbon to adsorb dissolved contaminants,
discoloration,odors,toxic gases.
3. Biological – Special BIO-Mix in the tank bottom to help remove toxic ammonia
and nitrites and maintain pH balance.
NEVER use soap or cleansers in or around tank.
NEVER leave tank turned off for long periods of time.
NEVER let gravel bed dry out.
1. Pour 1 inch of Biological Filter Material #2 (dolomite) over Lower False Bottom (A) and
spread evenly over entire surface (B).
2. Add Biological Filter Material #1 (A) covering top layer of dolomite completely (B).
3. Add more Biological Filter Material #2
until top layer of dolomite is within one
inch from the top of the filtration well.
Make certain that all carbon is covered
and the top layer is level.

Prior to system startup, follow the few easy steps outlined below to get
your system ready for operation. Refer to the exploded view (pg. 5) for
additional clarification.
