Aquamaxx HOB 1.5 height?

[Thumbster]

Thinking about getting the aquamaxx 1.5 skimmer but I have a canopy and was wondering what the distance is from where it rests on the tank to the top of the collection cup?

How high off is your canopy?

I have 6 1/2” from the top of the aquarium lip to the bottom inside of the canopy.

You can tilt it back the cup is adjustable I have to keep mine pretty high to keep it from filling up too fast maybe if you added a valve to turn down airflow you could keep the cup lower

Yea of coarse, it’s very frustrating trying to eyeball this stuff online and hope it works. The thing was significantly bigger than I thought it would be, but I was able to squeeze it onto that biocube i am very impressed with it though. My ph was 7.5 I added a co2 scrubber to this and now I am looking for soleniods for airline tubing to close it off when the ph is above 8.3 because it pushes 8.4 now.
