Hello,
As the title states I am just overly frustrated by my skimmer. I cannot get it to skim right. I have watched so many videos. I have tried opening and close gate. Skimmer body depth in water, and air flow using Venturi.
it is a Reef octo INT 150, it sits in my 30ish gallon holding sump under my 150 gallon DT. I currently have 5 fish in the tank. Including a salfin tang and a foxface being the big fish. Tank it’s about 2 months old. Skimmers age is unknown as I got it for free in a long story I won’t go into haha.
please help me or recommend maybe something better/different. I am sick of spending hours on this only to find all my efforts and thinking I got it tuned wasted.
EDIT: issue is I cannot get an even remotely dry skim. It has weak bubbles that will pop in the neck or overflow the collection cup never in between. I cannot get big bubbles that will create a dry skim.
