Thanks kvmn and Dave's Reef

I am using 200 model and heard the proper level is 9~9.5 with red nozzle.

Is it same level at 200 and 250?

I maintain my water level to 9 inches but it is hard to make dry skimming.

The recommendation for the 250 with 47mm nozzle is 9-10" of depth. Not sure about the others, I know it's mentioned here in the thread but it's too deep and I don't remember where or what page it's mentioned on.

Jeremy is always very helpful and has taken numerous phone calls from me for clarification as I've needed it.

BIG THUMBS UP TO JEREMY FOR GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

8" - 9" seems to be the concensus best depth for the 200. Ive been running my 200 at just under 9". But whatever works best is where you should run it. 8" - 10" seems to be the range.

Jeremy, I purchased my alpha 200 from you guys and I get the surging with the smaller nozzle. The large nozzle works great, but I would love to have the skimmer working well with the smaller nozzle as well and I think the new impeller will solve the problem!

I'd like to also put myself on the list for a new impeller.

Thanks!
John

I think the new impeller was only for the 170.

Subman, I tried raising the skimmer to 10" of water and I get a lot more bubbles!
If i lower the water level right above the output it gives me a tad less bubbles then having it at my normal level of 9"

 

[subman719]

Wd- Very weird. Did you try playing with the nozzle legth/adjustement at all?

 

[Jeremy B.]

rufio173 - stay with the larger red nozzle. Some are ok with the gray nozzle on the Alpha 200, others are not.

Nothing is being changed with the Alpha 200. This skimmer is a beast, and works very well with the red nozzle. The only changes that are being worked on right now are with the Alpha 170.

Irai - Did you make sure the bubble plate was lined up correctly?

Alpha 300 Users!

Alpha 300 Users!

I would love to get some feedback from you guys! I have finally had a chance to play around with one, and this skimmer is ridiculously strong!!! The 4000LPH air injection into this thing makes it absolutely rock. This one is definitely a winner!

 

[Gen21]

That's right Jeremy!!! 300 is a really big monster and skims awesome!!!!

I left some pics of the one I bought from PA just before the split and a video in the first post after the split..

I can post some others in better quality if needed!!!

300 is the best of the best of the beasts!!!

As soon as I get my new setup rocking within the next 2 weeks you will have some HD video of mine rocking away!

 

[eran]

I guess I should say I have the 300
