Icecap K1 Neo?

That's the nano, not the Neo.

The video desc said for all K1s when I looked, isnt the Neo pretty much the same? Looks almost identical

No. It's looks similar but operates more simply. That video was released before the neo was a thing.

So I reached out to Coravue and basically they told me you cannot dial it in. There is no airflow control. The only thing you can do is to move the unit higher or lower to control water level. That’s it.

I had one and never could get it dialed in and the pump died after 6 months so I decided I'd skip that brand from now on.

Mine working like a champ. I would like to buy a backup pump for my neo just in case. @CoralVue_Marketing

Nice! I think I got a dud.

Unless the pump stops there's not much to make it a dud. It's all about depth and how high or low you mount it.

How high did you put the skimmer in? I just got one and need to find the spot

This is wheee I keep mine. It’s a Fluval Evo. I love this skimmer. I do adjust it around an inch or so if I start to over skim. Then I eventually reset it.

Thanks, I think I finally got it tuned in but I'll wait a couple of weeks for the break in to see if I need to adjust -/+.

Ive used many of their skimmers and for the little extra- best is to get the K1-50 which works like a full sized skimmer and is more diffused with air

 

[Schulks]

I wish I could fit the k1-50 but I have a very small AIO. It seems I am either using the "Icecap k1- Neo" or the "Aquamaxx bullet-1". Or neither if you think I should just try to do more frequent water changes.
