The F8 error on your controller is there to indicate air obstruction such as the salt creep in the venturi port in the images below.

So I raised the water level in the sump such that the skimmer is now sitting in 7 inches of water. Opened the nozzle to exactly 5 turns. Still this is what am seeing :- throttling continues . Should I open the nozzle further to 6 or 7 turns? Uploaded a video for your review and help . Video by Abhishek Dasgupta, on Flickr Regards, Abhishek |

Well, it was an F3 code. I pulled the nozzle and didn't see any salt creep on the nozzle. I checked the impeller but didn't see anything out of the normal. Some slime build up but I don't think that would be enough to cause resistance would it? I've been dealing with dinos, I'm sure some of the strands made it's way into the pump. Could that cause an F3 error? The skimmer literally shuts off for a second, throws a code and then turns right back on.

Started up my DC 150 last night to let it start breaking in.
What would be a good water level to start? I believe it is at about 7.75" currently. I didn't realize I could turn the volute as an adjustment, I will have to do that when I get home from work. Where would be a good starting point for the volute?

Have mini 160 in 9” of water, 22” of fish, adjustment is very sensitive between wet and low vol skimmate, will setting skimmer 1/2” shallower help with sensitivity?

Wedge is 3/4 closed, skimmate is a tea color so doc may be lower than anticipated with over 20” of fish. Bubble/foam are approx 1-1.5” below clear skimmer body

The tea colored skim is likely the result of wet skimming and a light load relative to the skimmers capabilities.

Skimmer is at bottom of sump, not sure if pulling off rubber feet for 1/4” would matter, think the skimmer is too much for a 65 gallon. Would a 130 be any better in sizing?

If you want the skim darker, just open the wedge pipe a fraction of a turn.
