Deltec 1000ix over flow

[Peterlim]

Hi Guys,

Today just install Deltec 1000ix but it keep over flow.. Anyone know why and please help!! Thanks

Likely due water lvl issue and breakin period. For water lvl issue, u can try to adjust the knob on the skimmer or elevate it.

Btw this is new tank and new water.

Running in. Raise skimmer for 1 week. 

[Peterlim]

you mean just leave it like that ?

[Evolutionz]

give it a bath in vinegar, the oil present in the brand new skimmer is probably what is causing that.

Elevate the skimmer by a few inches

so is not because of my new tank salt water with no fish. is the skimmer itself problem ?

Do remember to open the gate valve and air intake fully for running in. Happy reefing.

do you have the same problem as me, when you buy your new deltec 1000 ?

If u have set up properly with the pipe, it will not overflow from cup, but from the tube. Pls go to manual
