Hey all
Does anyone know how to work/ dial in the bubble magnus curve 2?
I can’t find any videos or information online. I have it on now but the bubbles aren’t reaching high and there’s micro bubbles everywhere

Do you have it hanging on the tank, or its in the sump? If you can post a short video of what you see, it will make it easier for us to understand and help, thanks.

How deep do you have it in your tank? They recommend eight inches. What I actually do is with the skimmer dry, I mark the skimmer at it's recommended depth with a Sharpie. I then add a second mark 1 inch up (or as many marks as you think you might need).

With the air intake wide open, it the bubbles aren't close to the collection cup, lower the skimmer....maybe approximately half and inch and then see how the bubbles are in the skimmer....if still not getting high enough, lower another half inch. Repeat as needed.

Once you have bubbles easily getting to the cup, do your fine adjustments by starting to close the air intake. Note that these adjustments to the air intake will be micro adjustments.

Hope this helps.

Here’s a picture idk if it came out good. It reached the top earlier, so I emptied the cup. Now there’s micros just constantly everywhere.
