Seaclone Protein Skimmer

[Lpsfanatic338]

YES!!!!!!!!! I finally got my seaclone skimmer to work. Had it for about half a year and I tried to hook it up and it was letting tons of micro bubble into the tank. I tried again today because i was bored and it worked. No more Micro-bubbles.

O yeah i forgot to ask my question, how long does it take for the skimmer to break in and collect skimmate

 

[3rotorFD]

give it a couple days.........
also when you clean it ,just rinse it with cold water. dirty skimmers work better

Thanks

Not really dirty LOL . I'm saying just rinse the collection cup and stuff. Just water (no soap or other things)

Don't let your skimmer get too dirty.
It probably says that right on the box it came in

Lpsfanatic338, how did you deal with the microbubbles problem?? I'm having the same one.

 

[Lpsfanatic338]

I just opened the venturi more. Before that i was going to cut a foam disk and put it in the skimmer body

Did that make the skimmer way louder? I tried that and it just made it impossible to sleep at night (I presume even if the tank weren't in my br, it would be too noisy to watch TV or whatever).

 

[Lpsfanatic338]

It did make it louder but not much. You should try the foam disk thing.
