:sad1: THERE'S WATER ALL AROUNG MY TANK STAND !!! And the thing is that we have carpet !!!!!
Well, here's the story......... About 5 days ago I set up my sump/refugium with the Aqua C EV-120 skimmer. Ive read that it is a good skimmer so I got it but reading the instruction manual it says that it works best if the air valve is FULLY open and to just adjust the gate valve. Well, if I leave the air valve all the way open it starts foaming very wet and very fast rising to the collection cup and overflowing. Last night before I went to bed I had the air valve dialed down about 3/4 open and I had a line from the collection cup to a 1 gal container just in case, just to find out that it had been overflowing over to the collection cup, into the 1 gallon jug and over to the carpet !!!! WHY IS MY SKIMMER DOING THIS ???? Is it because of the break in period ??
