Finally got a new Weipro

[blueheaven]

I just bought a Weipro 2011 from P#tm@rt today and i know that many users are setting the water level up to just under the black band. i am using a sicce indra to power the skimmer but i cannot set the water level to the desired place. no matter how i turn the knob, the water level is still over. it is only when i adjust the pump to 400l/h flowrate den it lowers. can anyone help me as the low flowrate is causing very little turbulence in the reaction chamber.

Hi,

How many litres per hour is your pump..??

[hijackng]

Tune the water outlet until the water level reach about 3 to 4 inch below the cup, btw u need about 1 to 2 weeks to have "Kopi O" if the skimmer is new.

[blueheaven]

my pump is 1300l/h

when i try to tune the knob, the minimum water level is just below the collection cup

[blueheaven]

will some users help me?

Sorry for being but does a venturi driven skimmer like weipro need air pump and powerhead to work or only powerhead????

[SBS_Transit]

just the powerhead

[blueheaven]

so what about my question? can anybody PLEASE help me!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blueheaven]

i read from a thread that a reefer also had this problem. suggestions are that the pump overkill. but 1300l/h for weipro 2011 is overkill?

pls help

[SBS_Transit]

no ley ? i thought that 1300l/h is too little for 2011 ? people say that 2000l/h is just enough ?

[blueheaven]

den how do i set so that the water level is not too high(in other words how do i tune to lower the water level)?

I had been using a Weipro 2011 with Weipro 3000 PH rated 2300 l/hr, inorder to tune the water level closed to the neck, I need to reduce the flowrate via the outlet to achieve this. So your PH is definitely too powerful for 2011. But you can try wait and see is there any thick skimmate being produce, if yes then don't care so long is not overskim.
