3. Connect Controller: Connect the pump's cable to the designated port on the controller unit.
4. Connect Power Adapter: Plug the power adapter into the controller, then plug the adapter into a suitable electrical outlet.
5. Secure Cables: Arrange all cables neatly and securely, ensuring they do not create a tripping hazard and are protected from water splashes. Create a drip loop for all power cords.

6. Operating Instructions

The SCP-70 controller allows for various flow patterns and intensity adjustments.

6.1 Controller Functions

• Power Button: Turns the unit on or off.
• Mode Button: Cycles through different wave patterns and flow modes (e.g., W1, W2, Else, H, C).
• Speed/Flow Knob: Adjusts the intensity or speed of the pump.
• Feed Mode Button: Initiates a temporary pause in operation for feeding, typically 10 minutes. The pump will resume automatically.
• Lock Button: Locks the current settings to prevent accidental changes.
• Light Sensor: (If present) Automatically reduces flow at night.

6.2 Flow Modes Explained

• W1 (Wave Mode): Creates a wave effect. Adjust the knob to change wave intensity.
• W2 (Sine Wave Mode): Generates a smoother, more consistent sine wave.
• Else (Random Flow Mode): Produces a random, irregular flow pattern, simulating natural reef conditions.
• H (Constant Flow Mode): Provides a steady, continuous flow at the set speed.
• C (Feeding Mode): Pauses the pump for a set duration (e.g., 10 minutes) for feeding.

Experiment with different modes and speed settings to find the optimal flow for your aquarium inhabitants and setup. Observe your fish and corals to ensure they are not stressed by excessive flow.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your wave maker.

1. Disconnect Power: Always unplug the unit from the power outlet before any cleaning or maintenance.
2. Remove Pump: Carefully detach the pump from the aquarium glass.
3. Disassemble: Gently twist and pull apart the pump housing to access the impeller and motor components.
4. Clean Components: Rinse all parts under clean water. Use a soft brush or cotton swab to remove any algae, detritus, or calcium buildup from the impeller, impeller shaft, and pump housing. For stubborn buildup, soak parts in a diluted vinegar solution for a few hours, then scrub clean.
5. Inspect: Check the impeller for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the ceramic shaft (if applicable) is intact.
6. Reassemble: Carefully reassemble the pump, ensuring all parts fit snugly.
7. Reinstall: Mount the pump back in the aquarium and reconnect power.

Recommended cleaning frequency: Every 2-4 weeks, depending on aquarium conditions and buildup.
