Hello,
i started my first reef 5 days ago. 800 ltr 50 kg live rock, phosphate reactor, carbon, and bbk deluxe 300. My recent headache is a tuning of a skimmer - i can not get this brown stuff inside of a cup. Played for some time with watter levels inside and outside of a skimmer - does not change a lot.
Shortly speaking i have nozzle on the pump closed (dots aligned), outlet pipe fully open, telescope lifted to the max, my outlet of the skimmer takes the watter directly to refugium, outlet is not fully submerged under watter.
After few days of reading different forums about how to fine-tune the skimmer i have no more ideas of what could be wrong in my setup?
could anyone have a look at my pictures (watter levels, outlet position, telescope, foam level in the neck) and give me some advice? Is there a fault in setting, or am I simply impatient :)
It is a second-hand skimmer if it changes something in terms of breaking-in period?
Thank you in advance.
