Hey guys,
Just getting back into the hobby after a break of 5 years and attempting to tune my skimmer.
I have it set at the exact water level as marked on the skimmer but not sure how to adjust the skimmer.
As you can see in the photo there are three different-looking bubble sections but as I've currently got it small bubbles are just "boiling" at the bottom of the cup neck.
It's a new tank been running for about three weeks but there is waste in the system as I'm cycling with two clowns and have used live sand and Dr Time One and Only. I have previously got some skimmate as can be seen on the wiper and collection cup.
Where should the tiny bubbles or larger buttons start?
Should I open the valve more? If I do that currently I'll get a very very wet skin.
Just trying to understand where I should have the skimmer set even if that means for now it would overflow.
Thanks!
