Protein skimmer 9430

[Tanthaitrung]

Hi Roger Vitko

My name is Khanh, from Vietnam. If you don't mind, I have some questions about protein skimmer 9430.

My display tank=900 liters and sump=180 liters with heavy stock and full Zeovit system.

Is the 9430 enough for my system?

My skimmer is adjusted to export 300ml daily. When I use Zeovit powder product (Zeozym) I must turn off skimmer ~3 hours. Sometimes after 3 hour off it exports 2 liters!?

In my case, just wonder if the volume that 9430 exports daily is fixed or not

How to adjust exporting "wetter" or "dryer? Depend on immersion depth?

I saw a mesh bag beside the skimmer. What is it used for?

Thanks in advance
Khanh

I don't know of any skimmer that the export amount can be adjusted precisely, it varies with the organic levels and any additives used. You can reduce it by closing the air or lowering the water level and increase it by increasing the air, raising the water level or raising the filter bag attachment.

The filter bag removes bubbles and also acts as a mechanical filter. Additionally carbon and phosphate remover can be added to the bag so the skimmer can serve as a complete filter.
