I was just looking at some pictures on your website. On big thing I noticed is your output tube is much shorter than mine. When I drop mine all the way down it is still above the joint at the top of the main chamber, yours look about 2" lower. Might explain why my skimmer keeps overflowing?
Thanks, Walter

I've narrowed the problem down to a new RO/DI I've been using. Last night I was getting some top off water that I store in a barrel. I noticed it was a bit murky and a bit slimy. I dumped the water into the sump and the skimmer started overflowing again. This morning I used some bottle water that we had, skimmer actually got a bit better and settled down a bit. Now i Just have to find out why the RO/DI is causing it to go nuts. I think the first thing I'll try is tapping off the RO and not use DI to see if that's it. When I first set the unit up I ran it for about 1/2 hr to clean it out. I then made 35g or so of fresh water. I dumped what I had left from that last night, made about 15g of new water, but it is has that murky look to it...

whaase - you are supposed to run a NEW unit for a certain amount of time...not sure how long it is but htere is some sort of antibacterial or something on or in the membrane i believe
run more through it...and NOT through the DI and throw it out. it shouldn't be murky. is it something in your tub?

Don't bother emailing Euro-reef, try h2otropicals. While Euro-reef may make great skimmers, their customer support is virtually non-existent. The exact quote I received from Jeff at Euro-reef was "we as a manufacturer are not supposed to be supporting the end user". Not exactly what I wanted to hear after dropping a thousand dollars on a CS8-4 RC.

Did he really say that?!?! Hell I would be pretty ****ed off if he said anything like that. I'm glad I went with ASM then, at least then I knew I wasn't going to get any customer support. I've always justified the ER being a little more than the ASM because they were built better and they had customer support. I guess I was wrong.dmichellep said:
If you're speaking of the pics on my site... my riser tube is only set at the first joint. If I were to raise it to the second(or any higher for that matter), there would be wetter production for each bit of raise I put on the height of the tube. IMO, lower your tube to the first joint and adjust from there.
