I'm brand new to skimmers and just put one of these on my IM 20. Have a few questions as the provided documentation leaves a little to be desired. The skimmer is installed in my second (middle) chamber in the back.
First, do I need to turn the skimmer off when I turn the pumps off for feeding?? Seems like it just overflows when the pumps get shut off.
Second, I set the bubbles to be in the middle of the tube in the cup last night (3 day old skimmer at this point). It looked like it was running fine. When I woke up the cup was full of nearly clear water and overflowing. Do I need to set it higher?
Once I get this thing set right am I going to have to keep futzing with it??
Thanks everyone!!
