When u say dial it back a bit what should i do exactly?It looks like your skimmer is doing just fine but it doesn't look like your tank has too much stuffs for it to skim.
You could dial it back bit or let it be and skim a bit wet.
Either more air intake (by slowly opening the air valve) or let more water out (by slowly opening the water outlet valve)When u say dial it back a bit what should i do exactly?
I have the mini screw that i have 1/4 open. And i have the open and close valve. Do i use the open and close valve?Either more air intake (by slowly opening the air valve) or let more water out (by slowly opening the water outlet valve)
I usually keep the air valve fully open and tune with the water outlet valve.
If i leave it like that what would happen?Open the mini screw (air valve all the way). I like to have as much air mixing as possible as I am running CO2 scrubber (I would do same if it wasn't for CO2 scrubber, as I want as much fresh air as possible).
The water level (bubbles) should lower. Then use the larger "open-close" (fine water tuning) to dial it back in. Since you are only 1/4 open on air, the water level might drop. I would go really slow with the adjustment (i.e. make small adjustment and wait awhile until make another adjustment).
Nothing, you just get less air mixture! Like I said, I like to have as much fresh air as possible to the skimmer. I also found that is easier to start tuning the skimmer with everything wide open.If i leave it like that what would happen?
Wait what? Are you saying that section shouldnt be moved? When i do adjustement that thing falls sometimes man and i just have to put it back its annoying.
Exactly! Make sure you make notice of where it is and put it back exactly the same place.Wait what? Are you saying that section shouldnt be moved? When i do adjustement that thing falls sometimes man and i just have to put it back its annoying.
Okay fixed that. Now i turned the open and close valve. I opened it a twist. And thats where we at. Its not going up all the way up like it used to with thr wet skim normal?Exactly! Make sure you make notice of where it is and put it back exactly the same place.
Not sure why it kept falling off? It should be some waht secure in place.
Maybe that is your problem with tuning the skimmer
