Coralife Super Skimmer 65

[nikemikey]

I just picked this skimmer up for my tank, but I got it used from a LFS. I didn't get any instructions with it, and I've never used a skimmer before. I tried searching online to find instructions but couldn't find them. Can anyone here help point me in the right direction for how to set this thing up properly?

Thanks in advance

Mike

Oh and before I forget, I'm setting it up for inside the sump, not HOB

Not a problem, just trying to do my part here @ RC. BTW, do a search for modding the skimmer. Hope i could help. And [welcome]

I use this skimmer as a HOB but I'll put in my two cents. When you first set it up, probably the gray knob above the pump will need to be set at the almost closed position (indicator on the diagonal) and the red knob in a closed or almost closed position. If not, the bubbles will rise too high in the tube. It may need to run in this "break in" position for a couple of days. Also after a major tank cleaning or other "stir up" or after using reef epoxy in the tank, the skimmer may start skimming wildly and need to be dialed back again for about 24 hours. I get a decent amount of skimmate from this skimmer, but it is a little finicky. Good luck and let me know if I can help.
