The bottom does not come off, but the pump and outlet assembly do. The rest of the dimensions for each model are under the links.
How high up the tube do you set the water bubbles?
i had Nyos 160 it was a piece of crap. my old BM Curve 5 worked better than that how ever it looked like a supermodel. So i got rid of it and gotbest skimmer i have ever owned yet. its sitting in 9.75 inches of water and i dont think it had brake in period well i dont even think i washed it at all droped it in water and let it rip... dark stinky skim-mate and after shut down for clean up always i mean always goes back to setting . Havent adjusted it yet since the original fine tune
do you have the rubber seal ring in place? Bc that was one thing that i overlooked but once in place that thing is set it and forget it i dont even have it siting in recommended i have it in 9.75 inches of water and its still pulling nasty gunk out with npInteresting, I bought a 200int and can’t get the dang thing to stop leaking at the neck and produce skim. Any tips?
Adjust the foam/water higher up. Just adjust a little at a time waiting like 2 days between adjustments until you get it where you want it.I installed an Octo 110 yesterday for a skimmer. I can't seem to get any good skim. The neck coming up towards the cup is turning green, but the cup still doesn't have any skim in it. Is there a break in period that I am missing or am I not adjusting it correctly?
How much does a skimmer impact Nitrate? I have been battling to bring Nitrate down in my 60 cube. Currently very lightly stocked with two Clowns , Dwarf angel and Niger Trigger.
Cant seem to get it down below 20 -50 on Red Sea Reef test.
The reason I ask about the skimmer as that I have Curve 5 which skims really poorly and I have in another thread tried to trouble shoot it with no luck.
It will skim about a quarter cup over two weeks and not able to skim wet like a prefer to do .
Also dosing NoPox and have a large amount of Marine pure as well as rock in the system.
