I got one of those with a tank buy quite a few years ago. I never really had much luck with it. It was very finicky. If I remember correctly it was pretty sensitive to the water level. I wish I had more to offer but I removed it from the system in a month or so out of frustration.

Yes normal. I just setup a 29g with the same. I did switch to the larger 120 because it wasn't going to cost me any more and may use it when I get larger tank. I have had good luck with both so far (just under 60 days in). There are a few mods you can do also... lookup fish line mod. Most people hate them, but I got them for a steal. Just note that they fine adjustment is very tricky at first to dial in also. Mine overflowed (which just fills cup, no spills) one time I went a bit too high on adjusting. I had just cleaned the cup so no major issues with nasty skimate going into water. When you put cup on and tighten check for drips for a bit also.

Oh. And don't run cup drain into tank...looking at your video. I didn't even bother to use it. I clean every four days or so. If you are gonna use it, run to two liter or gallon jug.

Yeah o was just doing that while adjusting it's looking much better now and already producing skimmate I thank you kindly. I actually watch a video and the guy had his drain going into a 2L pop bottle so I followed suit!
