Hi all,
I have read online the breakin period is 3-4 weeks and during this period there could be no foam production and microbubble production.
I was curious from those with experience with this protein skimmer how accurate that is? I setup my Reef Octopus classic 100-HOB protein skimmer by coralvue last night and have seen zero foam production and microbubbles getting through the sponge. I was curious how long this took for others to go away/function properly. When should i strt to adjust settings(air intake/water level). I currently have the air intake fully open. I will take pictures for everyone. I just curious how much i should be tinkering with settings/concerned with it working.
My tank is 6 months old has 2 occ clown 1 bicolored blenny, 1 condy anemone, 1 star fish and this is the first protein skimmer so I know i have some violod waste that needs to be skimmed off. I will take pictures and upload now. Thanks for any help.
