I turned on my new IceCap K2 160 skimmer this weekend to try to get it dialed in. I played with it for about an hour and never got it to the point where it wasn't a bubble volcano. The liter skimmer cup was filling up within minutes with the gate completely open and completely closed. The only thing I could do to slow it down was to close the air intake. That only slowed the skimmer, it didn't stop it from erupting with bubbles. Also, a TON of micro bubbles escaped and went into my return pump (even after going through the "bubble filter" in my sump. There was a 1/4 inch layer of bubbles on the surface of the sump in the skimmer and return chambers (waterbox 170 sump). Anyone have any suggestions on how to tune this thing and what to do about bubbles?
Thanks!
Thanks!
