Mario, if you didnt get the manual for that thing. go download it from their website. also, there aer TOns of threads on RC that have differnet ways to fine tune those. one thing I will tell you as a tip is to keep the inlet for that hose (right by the pump) clean regularly. it will build up salt crust and restrict the air into it. I have also heard of folks hooking up an air pump to it to give them more air. just put you a needle valve in there to adjust the air.

The SS65 is a great skimmer for the money. I mesh modded mine and the thing became a beast, but the maintenance also turns into a beast (you have to clean more often... not a huge deal... but you also have to replace the mesh every month or two... that's a pain).

Just like Lindsey said, look up some mods for them. They're a pretty good skimmer overall.

Here's mine with the meshmod:

yeah guys i read a boat load about mods lol.....mods and more mods lol but its cool,i dont have an ATO right now so i have it where i had my remora which is on the out side of my sump on my drain line chamber so water level isnt a prob,when i hook an ATO i will move it into my return section....so far with no mods and not dialed in perfectly it is still tons better then the remora.......also i saw on youtube how someone...i cant remember what company is close to having a "mesh" system for skimmers like that mesh mod....which would be awesome....ofcourse the smaller the bubbles the better so it would be cool
