Red Sea Prizm Protein Skimmer

[mwang]

hi, anyone using Red Sea Prizm Protein Skimmer (hang-on with venturi pump inside). Is your very noisy when running? will the "collection cup" get overflow?

can anyone advise me on what is the ideal adjustment for its water flow?

[lightningstrike]

used to hv it till i sold it off yesterday.

IMHO, noise is acceptable.

collection cup hv not been overflown with skimate b4.

ideal adjustment varies from tank to tank as diff tank hv diff SG, etc. a good guide will be abt 2cm off the bottom of the o ring.

thanks, you meant 2cm ABOVE the black O ring?

Have been using it for 9 months.

Never overflow before. In fact never ever completely fill the collection cup.

mine almost overflow after coming back 10days later from biz trip!

do a search on red sea prizm in src, u should be able to find out more info regarding the water level. but do take note that the rec water level varies from tank to tank as we hv diff tank parameters.

thanks lightlingstrike!

thanks lightlingstrike!

no worries......

u should be able to control the water level using the black lever at the intake pipe.

did connect the air intake correctly?? If wrong or u didn't connect, it will generate some noise.

hi, sorry for the misleading Hondace, referring to my previous statement -->"dunno how to adjust" Actually, what i meant was that, i dun really know what is the "IDEAL/ CORRECT" adjustment for the black lever, after did some search, some reefers suggested that to adjust the water level 2-3cm below the black "O" ring, but, by doing that, i can hardly see anything(foam) flow into collection cup

but according to the person, it's NORMAL, it will eventually works after 2-3days. i think i am too "kan cheong" worry my Prizm not working properly.....

so, my dear fellow reefers, care to share what's your "water level --base on the O ring"? below? above?

thanks
