Bro ah, just got the red sea skimmer as well. Wanna check with you, does the skimmate overflow only when the water is dirty? Or it overflows all the time?

wow...underwater world. Looks great.

The foam should reach the top at all times. and once the foam collect enough dirty skimmate then it will overflow.

For my tank, the cup is filled only once a week. now even slower, cos i reduce feeding.

i think foam is supposed to reach just below the collection cup. it will overflow when enough dirty skimmate has accumulated. That's how I tuned my IQ skimmer anyway.

So after the skimmate overflows, it turns into milky water? mine now like that leh. Last night I turned full flow cause I thought the foam isn't flowing out, this morning end up the whole cup full with water.

should not be water, should be skimmate which is brownish in color. and smelly.

think you need to adjust your airflow. u got use the airtube provided?

[Liang_Zai]

if cup fill with water think ur flow is too big already Bro.

I see i see. Thanks for the help guys, will tune it.

I did use the airtube, connect to one of the holes on the cup right? Anyway, my foam still seems pretty clean, is it because my tank is still "new" ? No livestock yet.
