I have the SM250. Water level should be 20-25cm. If it's too high, you lose the ability to adjust the foam. You also need to make sure the water level in your skimmer section is constant with an ATO. Otherwise, the changing backpressure will affect the skimmer's performance. I started a Bubble King skimmer club over on the equipment forum. Please join our discussion! :)
