btw, i just installed a beckett skimmer earlier when it was skimming, black foam and stuff appeared... however after running for about 5hrs, like nothing foaming up leh... is it normal? skimmer seems to be working fine, lots of tiny bubbles but like nothing foaming up?

Where did u place it? Together with return pump? If so the fluctuating level of water may affect the skimming rate.

Got it tune properly is also very important.

Hope my info helps.

Hi jxlex

yes it is normal for skimmer not to foam sometimes.

some skimmer are also more sensitive to water level and will require fine tuning periodically.

but yours shld be ok.

just try to keep the water level constant and observe.
