Hello everyone, this is my first post on R2R.
I have a Deltec SC1455 that's been installed for around 6 months.
Unfortunately it hasn't worked properly at all for the time that I've owned it.
Around every 2 to 3 days the skimmer will flood (skim-mate will get flushed out and it'll fill up with clear tank water.)
The skimmer is currently sitting in about 7.4 inches of tank water (188mm), I've tried stands that place it both lower and higher up.
Currently I'm only dosing 2 part and that's it.
I do a 15 percent water change once a week.
I've already reached out to Deltec for support but they really haven't done anything other than juggled me around to different support representatives internally.
I'm grasping for straws here so any help is appreciated.
Tank specifications:
120 Gallon Display
45 Gallon Sump
Filtration:
Deltec SC1455 Protein Skimmer
CW100 Clear Water Turf Scrubber
200Lbs of Pukani (between the dt and sump)
2x 200 micron 4" filter socks
Other Equipment:
Hydor ATO
Jecod DCS 12000 return pump
Ecotech MP40 accessory pump
2x Maxpect Gyre accessory pump
2x Jaeger 150W heaters
Jebao UV sterilizer
Jebao 3x channel dosing pump
