I have a Red Sea reefer 600 skimmer. Are there any other ways of tuning it than just the one big red wheel at the front?
I have set the water height to exactly 19 cm, as the manufacturer recommends 18 to 20cm.
I find if I set the foam height to the top or near the top and putting skim into the cup, it will look fine then within an hour it has filled the cup with basically just water.
mother times I tune it to maybe an inch lower, and an hour later the skim level has dropped by about 4 or 5 inches?
The tank has been up and running for 15 weeks now, and I have on occasion had some good thick skim, it has never been consistent.
the tank is the Red Sea reefer 750 with a custom sump. I went for the slightly undersized skimmer based on BRS advice that said a smaller skimmer either than bigger should be easier to tune? I’m having no such luck.
Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.
