I am fairly new to adjustable pump DC skimmers.
I currently have a DC adjustable pump cone style skimmer. The skimmer is a bit to big for my system I am thinking. Right now I have the skimmer in 9" of water in the sump. The pump is turned all the way up. I am not able to get enough foam head for it to push over into the collection cup. I have the amount of air intake set at max.
Would I need to turn down the pump so to decrease the amount of water through the skimmer to raise the foam head? Or should I just get a different skimmer.
My system is a 50g cube with 20g of water in the sump. The skimmer is rated for 60g at a high bio load.
I have nitrates of 25 and phosphate of .5 so I know there is stuff in there it could be skimming.
Thank you!
Thank you!
