Hello everyone, last week I purchased a Skimz SM167 Monzter DC skimmer and am in the process of dialing it in.

I've slowed down the pump from 20 (full speed) to 16, output gate wide open and air screw 3/4 closed.

I am not getting the uniform small bubbles all the way up the neck though, they break up halfway up into bigger bubbles. Though they do push skim over to the collection cup.

I was just wondering if this is ideal and if someone that has experience with these skimmers can let me know if that's how it is supposed to be.

Here's a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZpv8pLbclA&t=6s.

Thanks in advance
Higor
