Hey everyone
I have a question about my Skimmer. It is a NYOS quantum 160 running since Feb/17. For some reason it will run good for 2-4 wks with no issues then all the sudden it wants to pull too much water into the cup even though nothing has changed, nothing added nothing dieing etc. It usually happens after I clean it which is done 2 time a wk or more if needed. It sits in about 8" of water. I have tried anywhere from 6.5 to 9", water & air 1/2 to completely closed all the way to fully open to fix this issue with no luck. IF I leave the drain plug off to keep it from filling in 30 seconds it sometimes fixes itself after 2-3 days but this is not good for the tank I think. Any ideas????
My tanks is 185gl with a Trigger ruby 30 sump setup for reef. I don't have any dosing stuff setup ($) but the corals I have seem to be fine.
When you say "clean it" are you referring to the collection cup only or the skimmer body and pump?
How are you cleaning it?[/QUOT
i clean the cup with water & bristle brush only. I've cleaned the body once.
I have been using a Skimz Kone SK181 from BRS and it works great. easy to tune and great foot print with the pump being internal. Large collection cup as well.Mojo-
In your experience what would be the best skimmer for a 55 gallon mixed reef (bang for buck)? In sump type would be preferred.
Currently have a cheapo JEBO that is not impressive to say the least.
