After sudden death of three of my favorite fish i had great help fand advise from Jay Hemdal diagnose this being flukes. Did the medical treatment for 16 days and turned all the filters off( skimmer, carbo, gfo, socks). The only filter running was my rollermat. A couple of water changes during treatment.
All fish are healthy!
Tried turning my skimmer back on but I'm having zero luck tuning it in.
Used to run at around 50% water valve closure and about 50% air restriction.
No matter how i dial... it always overflows or produces a vast amount of microbubbles when i use more air restriction. They escape the water exit tube and end up in my tank.
I could use some pragmatic advice.
The skimmer is a Somatic 120s
Stands in about 8.5" of sump. (upper end of spex but i do not have any headroom to pull it out more)
As i stated before, the skimmer was running fine before its vacation. Did a great job.
Here are some videos of this behaviour:
100% valve open, no air restriction
100% Water
50% valve open, no air restriction
50% Water
0% valve open, no air restriction
0% Water
100% Valve open, air restricted
100% valve open, air restrictions
Any ideas?
