Can I borrow your towel
DallasCowboys,
Where do you have your water level set? Looks like just inside the riser of the collection cup?
Here are is more from me:
Day three today, after a night of running very dry foam (pic below) I had to rescue a coral in the tank (freaking snails) so I figured good time to clean the collection cup and plug the skimmer in properly. I had previously run the power cord through the front of my stand to a temporary plug. I wanted it plugged into the main strip behind the tank.
pump would not restart
I tried a bunch of times. no luck. eventually I took the skimmer out of my sump (nightmare) took it apart, took the pump apart, rinsed everything, put the pump back together and it ran. So I reassembled the entire skimmer after a quick clean and I'm back in business. But I was not happy to have to do that on the first ever restart...
Here's the pic of dry foam skimming over night. This is less than 36 hours using the skimmer. I note above in one of my posts I said nearly 36 hours with one pic, but that should have been nearly 48 hours. The skimmer went into action at 2:15 PST on Wednesday the 13th.
