SRC Member junyong84 Posted August 30, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted August 30, 2003 Hi guys, I have just bought a weipro 2012 and a sicce extrema. Have lots of problems trying to make this skimmer work. First of all, I don't have a sump, so cant help it, have to hang my weipro on one the sides of my tank. Again, no sump, extrema haf to be sumberged into the tank... When i on extrema, water flows into the skimmer and well... i am not sure i am seeing fast flowing water or foam... there is a label/sticker on the skimmer that indicates ur water level shld be there. I can't adjust it to there level..no matter how i increase my pump speed or decrease it.. You guys have any idea how to... my weipro is hang on..so kinda difficult right??? + how to stop sand from being suck into my pump...argh.. Is there any way to modify my skimmer so that i don't have to hang it on the tank??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member SpiderOne Posted August 30, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted August 30, 2003 your sicce extrema probably cost more than your weipro. total waste of a good pump like that for a weipro. How many litres/hr is your pump Dun bother with the pump to adjust water level turn the knob on the outlet. water is transparent. foam is not. how can u mix up the 2. dun bother with the water level markings on the pump Raise it till u get your results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member SpiderOne Posted August 30, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted August 30, 2003 u can put it anywhere u want theoretically. u just going to have to judge and estimate how powerful a pump you might need. to get the water to it wherever it is at its recommended pressure and u cant put it below your tank.or it will just flood the cup and blow. just use it the way it was meant to be used. or get another skimmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
