I assumed you were looking for more sump info after posting pics, etc. Thats why I moved it here for you, so more would have a look.

Please feel free to ask for someone local, for acrylic help in the local forum if you so wish or I could move that part back.

Try to get the bombardment area between the base of the collection cup to the lower half of the inner collection cup reaction tube.

I'm sorry I don't quite understand. I can't adjust anything besides the amount of air going into the system.

No problem thanks for the move. I was considering putting it in this section.

Sorry we are going of topic....

Any way did you buy it with the pump? or did you match the pump by yourself?

I got the pump with the skimmer. I was told that the skimmer is a kzs revolution skimmer. I've looked online for the instructions for it but couldn't find it.

That is correct it’s a KZ revolution skimmer.
I assume its second hand?
What are the skimmer dimensions?
What pump is it (brand and gph)

The KZ skimmers are a Becket style skimmer. You should clean the injector frequently

Yah the skimmer is second hand. It came with the tank I purchased. Some of your posts clued me in on what to do. I added the valve and starting to try to dial in the skimmer. I'm finally getting some skimmate in the collection cup.

Thanks for the help.

No problem mate, it's my pleasure, that’s what forums are for….:wink:

Any way it is very important you answer the questions above. I want to see that there is a match between the pump and the skimmer.
