Got me a used Evolution 750 today for $50!
and I already have it up and running with a mag18 in sump with the water level in a stable chamber and gate valve knob about 1" above the waterline.
I think it's heads and tails better than any skimmer I have used before already (and it isn't even set right yet) but I was wondering after reading all these posts.
Any idea how many bioballs I should be useing with a mag18?
I still have alot of adjusting to do but after 11 hours it's already skimming all be it a bit wet. (still wirking with the gate valve every hour or so)
and my other questions is that the collection cup that I can get for this has the auto shutoff ball thing in it but how does that stop the exhaust when the inlet for air and water just sits in the top of the skimmer?
I plugged the drainline and altho the bubble colem did collaps a bit. it didn't stop forming like others I have seen.
If I hook this thing up external laiter is there any chance of an overflow due to this?
I'm running it on a 110g flatback RR hex tank with a 40g sump.
medium bioload ATM but will increase.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx
