[shiraz]

my water level is at arnd the red line and this is my skimmate... 2500LPH pump for 2011.. overkill but smelly thick gooey skimmate!

[ozy]

How do you keep your skimmer from over flowing? I am using a ehiem 1260 with a 2014 for my 2 feeter and the bubbles was just nice reaching the O-ring. If I had used a 2011, I am definitely sure that the skimmer would have overflow.

[CalciumReef]

pumps may be rated high but they do not deliver that kind of rated water output whereas eheim is relatively trustworthy

[giantbicycle]

wha quiet a number of you are using Ehiem canister .. with shut off valuve .. i dont have..the valve. wha darren .. TAHt was nice... hope my skimmer will have that too

[RAV-65]

Can someone advice if the bubbles in the skimmer should be rushing up or just slowly flowing up? I have a mini in-tank skimmer made in germany but it produces only like brownish water, nothing like the kopi-o i understand i should have, izit becoz my bubbles are too strong? Pls advice...

[giantbicycle]

no if it is too strong .. it will produce watery stuff.

[shiraz]

by right, the bubbles should be rushing up...

[Froggy]

Hi,

Slightly off topic, hope you all can advice me.. Currently my 2012 (with a 2200L/h ph)water level is set at the black O ring mark, foaming ok->well. The problem is that the skimmer's output has lots of air bubbles too, can be seen even in the output clear piping of the skimmer.

Any method to reduce or eliminate the excessive bubbles at the output? Now having lots of tiny bubbles in the tank even when using the sponge that came with it....

[giantbicycle]

Check if there is any air leekage near the output

[zero.cool]

could possibly be due to some leakage to your output....

[giantbicycle]

hows your skimmer Froggy

[Froggy]

Thanks for all the advice given , checked the output for leaks cant find any. Decided to use the sponge that came with the PS, did reduce the tiny bubbles by a fair bit...

Funny thing is that after running the skimmer for abt 6days, the bubbles i previous observed in the output piping has reduced too....

ha maybe when you first start using it , it have not mature yet like mine . So good luck in making black skimilate

Just wonder Weipro 4000 too powerful for Weipro 2011 ? some reefer in this thread said if is too powerful will end up producing watery stuff... is that true for powerful pump? I notice that even use weipro 4000, the valve is 3/4 open in order to reach black rubber level..... hence I assume that the PS still can accept more powerful pump... any experienced reefer can help... Thanks!!

[Golden Tooth]

Will it effect the performance if the PH is too strong?

How bout the bubbles?

[Coral_ClamS]

mine water level is at the exact o-ring but sometimes get greenish sub. sometimes watery brownish stuff and few a times get kopi o but not in the cup but stuck in the funnel ...how help thanks.

[giantbicycle]

[nutx]

If you have no fish, and no feeding...hard for the skimmer to skim kopi-O.......
