Bubble magus curve HELP

[Bob3655]

ive found that pretty much all bubble magus in sump skimmers really like to run in about 9.5 inches or so of water to work most efficient which is usually a pain to achieve in most sumps.

That looks to me like the skimmer is just removing the foamiest of the stuff from the water. I'm guessing after a while it'll settle in nicely once the water is stripped of whatever is forming such a stable foam.

And oh yeah, my 8in Bm skimmer goes crazy with new filter socks if I don't prewash them with a couple old ones before using them the first time... residue on the material the socks are woven from.

What do I do with this drain plug? I notice some people have it shorter, others longer. Is it supposed to be out of the water? I feel if I leave it like this it will be in the water. Do I cut it??

The drain is a great feature on this skimmer. It easily allows you to drain the skimmate from the cup into a much larger container. This way you do not have to clean the cup as often. That is how I use mine.

I cut mine a little shorter but am still able to use it to drain skimmate which is great if you dont feel like taking the cup out to wash and drain it.
