I love my Euro reef but it's sensitivity and noise are sometimes frustrating. When I shut down the skimmer to clean the cup, I have to fuss with the air control tube (the large diameter tube running to the top height of the skimmer) to eliminate a loud gurgle, like water in the bottom of a scuba snorkle. The balance has to be just so to not overflow the skimmer cup and to also eliminate the noise.
Also, if I shut down my pumps for feeding and water level rises in the sump, the skimmer overflows.
I have negligable resistance through a muffler I modded on the air inlet.
Water level is 7.5", right in the ballpark with ER recommendations.
Any suggestions?
