:paiseh: haha saw that at AM n thought it was a skimmer. Paiseh i mountain tortise

Nah... they do look kinda similar in terms of material and etc... if that is a skimmer... probably a very lousy one... that kinda height with a single Aquabee 2000i foaming pump? :lol::lol::lol:

confirm blow bubble only. no foam produce.

like just mixing air with water only.

well my macro as250 dat has a shorter height and a similar powered needlewheel produces sufficient foam and microbubbles for it to skim.

it sure doesnt look like air mix water to me.

Good news... water parameters are more or less stable... here's my latest reading:

Sg: 1.026

Temperature: 25.5ºC - 26.5ºC

pH: 8.2 - 8.3

kH: 8 - 9

NH4: Not detectable

NO2: 0.02ppm (previously 0)

NO3: 2ppm (previously 0)

PO4: < 0.03

Everything is on track... expect NO2 to return to 0 and will tackle NO3 later :erm:

how you tune to wet skim?

more bubbles?

More bubbles (releasing air valve) is one way of getting wet skimmate... for my case... I replaced my skimmer feeding pump with a more powerful pump :)

Good for your bro... I deactivated the "cut-off" function during the lighting downgrading... should've reprogram it :(
