Hi Typerobin,

I did my dual injectors skimmer, it was great, producing great skimmate even better than my ETS, if your skimmer did not produce form, I think you may have to check on the clover injectors, the groves might be too big to produce fine bubbles, its quite senitive to the size fo the clovers, I did not use the clover injector is because it tends to clog easily, alot of maintainence.

Hope you will solve the problem.

Cheers! :whistle:whistle

a lot of burping at the surface right?? Think you let it run for 3 days first... after I modded my skimmer also like that.. a lot of burping... took 3 days for it to break in... after that works fine liao ;)

Tyrobin, Do take into account that the acrylic material used contributing to the lack of foaming into your skimmer...

New acrylic tubes might need some time running to rid off traces of chemical/ residues that come along during their manufacturing process.. these sometimes affect the foaming ability ...

That is why some reefers recommend rinsing the reaction chambers of new skimmers with mild detergent before firing up the unit.

Run it for a few days... if by then, nothing happens, then something is really wrong.

But from the way you describe and the pics posted, its most probably the need to "run in" the skimmer.

as compared to a beckett...pls note that the beckett has a 6inch diameter riser neck, mine is only 4inches...

and he is running a H&S at the same time...bet his tank is one of the cleanest in town...3 skimmers running at the same time....Needlewheel, spray injector and beckett...
