Hey all. I just recently got my dc skimz model sm167
I’ve had it off while I dosed the microbacter7 to get the tank going. I have two fish right now. More on the way but wanted to try getting it dialed in. It’s my first dc skimmer so I’m having some issues getting a foam head.
I’m also getting a lot of micro bubbles being pushed out the bottom of the skimmer into the sump and tank.
Skimmer is recommended to be in 6-8” it’s sitting in 7.5”
I’m not quite sure how to go about tuning it. Do I peg the power and adjust the collection height, or peg the power, tune the air, then dial in collection.
Here’s what I got so far.
