SRC Member maxifire Posted September 14, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 14, 2003 Hi, My Weipro's been running for the past 4 days and it's been either overskimming (overflowing my cup) or not skimming properly when I cover a little bit of the air hole. I've tried adjusting the flow valve of the skimmer to the lowest and it still overflows when I don't cover the air valve. Now I'm really suspecting that my PH could be too strong for the skimmer. Anyone managed to get the 2011 with 3000 submerge pump running on a 2ft tank? Please share with me your opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to check with you something. Do you experience the same problem which I'm experiencing now during your skimmer kick-in period?

anokaina Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 overflowing in the cup has never been a problem for me at any stage... just simply adjust the valve to get the height you want the 3000 pump can be used outside the tank...unless Henry from ML bluff me which I don't think so...
