So I saw Bulk Reef Supplies video yesterday about tuning your protein skimmer. Something they showed and said in the video made me go take a look at mine. It had to do with the tube/neck getting really dirty instead of most of it going into the cup. Well that's what I have going on and never really knew it was an issue.
I have the bubble magnus curve 7 elite. It has not been an issue for me, it collects stuff but maybe not like it should. It does not have an air intake adjustment, just a valve to control the amount of water that comes into it (I believe). It had been set to wide open so I closed it some to raise the bubble height but all it did was kill the bubbles lol. They dropped and just fizzed there for hours until I opened it back up. I checked this morning and it was foaming again but had not made it back to the collection cup. Hope I didn't throw it off. Its in 9.5 or 10 in of water like they recommend. So ya, should I be doing anything to it or just let it run like it was getting the skimmer neck dirty and not as much in cup?
Probably should clean it also, hasn't had a good cleaning in a few months.
