Product Support: CITR In-Tank Refugium

Instructions:

The CITR In-Tank Refugium or "Safe House" is designed to provide a culturing area for small organisms intended to be provided as a food source for fish and other carnivores within the main portion of the tank. The CITR also functions as a protected area for newly added fish or invertebrates to acclimate themselves 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 CITR will surely meet the needs of every aquarist.

1. Place the four suction cups firmly into the keyholes. Insert the unplugged powerhead into the middle hole on either side of the CITR.

2. Place the CITR inside the tank against a wall so that the top edge of the box is even with or slightly below the water level in the tank to reduce surface film in the CITR.

3. Plug in the powerhead and allow it to run for approximately one hour before adding specimens to the CITR. If adding substrate it is important to unplug the powerhead before doing so. Substrate should be well-rinsed before being added to the CITR and it should be noted that lighter substrate may be blown around by the force of the powerhead.

The CITR can be used in both Freshwater and Saltwater aquariums
