As stated in some other threads, I'm completely new to this hobby. And I went all out and got Max G2 system. I'm just not 100% sure about how protein skimmer worksLFS helped me install everything but left now wondering how everything works, reading, manuals, etc. the manual for the protein skimmer was a little confusing for me. The main question I have is about this free hanging valve. I found this valve floating in the sump and I'm not sure if I manipulated it and opened or closed it. I was reading the manual and it almost suggests like it's supposed to rest on an elbow and be above water? That doesn't make sense. I think it should be submerged. I'm just not sure if this valve should be open or closed. Or maybe I should close it when feeding occurs, to turn off the skimmer for about 30 minutes when I feed .
