I have a 210 gallon reef with the octopus DNW 200 skimmer on it but it is not pulling out alot of stuff. I have looked at pictures of the same skimmer on other peoples tanks and its pulling out all kinds of stuff. Am I doing something wrong?

The skimmer is out of the sump (want fit under stand)

I am using a mag 350 for a feed pump

The skimmer has been on the tank for about 2 months.

thanks for any help

Bigger feed pump.

Try a mag 7 or even a 9.5

I have the same skimmer and am planning on feeding it via a 1" overflow. Could you do that?
I think a 1" pipe provides ~600gph?
