🛠️ SOBO Canister Filter Setup Guide

1. Prepare Filter & Media

• Ensure the 4‑in‑1 replacement sponge or other media (mechanical, chemical, biological) are clean and slightly wet for better flow.
• Fit each layer neatly in its respective tray—filter wool → activated carbon → ammonia sponge → phosphate sponge (if applicable).

2. Connect Hoses

• Attach inlet and outlet hoses securely to the canister using the provided fittings.
• If using the FM-10 or FM-20 sponge set, confirm the appropriate fit for your filter model—FM‑10 works with SF650F, SF850F, SF1000F and FM‑20 with SF1200F, SF1500F.
• Ensure hoses are fully submerged and avoid sharp bends to maintain water flow.

3. Mount & Position the Pump

• Place the canister filter at or below water level to ensure proper siphoning.
• Use the suction-cup-mounted inlet and outlet pipes for secure placement inside the tank or sump.
• If using the UV version, ensure the UV sleeve is fully submerged.

4. Prime & Start

• Fill the canister with water to reduce airlocks.
• Switch to the “prime” setting (if available), or manually pump the system until water flows steadily through both hoses.
• Plug in the unit and verify water is flowing clearly through the outlet—no leaks should be present.

5. Adjust Flow Rate

• Use the flow control knob to tailor water circulation to your tank’s needs.
  • Higher flow works best in reef systems.
  • Lower flow is ideal for planted or shrimp tanks.

6. Final Checks & Placement

• Confirm hoses are fully sealed and there are no kinks or obstructions.
• Ensure the canister is secure and easily accessible for future maintenance.
• The UV-equipped version should run continuously to maintain water clarity; the non-UV version can run as needed, depending on tank conditions.

7. Ongoing Maintenance

• Replace the 4‑in‑1 sponge every 60 days or sooner if water flow is reduced.
• Rinse mechanical and biological media in tank water, and replace carbon monthly.
• For UV models, replace the UV bulb yearly to maintain effectiveness.
