Baffle height to match skimmer
 
Hey,

I was wondering if anyone happens to know what my baffle height should be to match the ideal operating depth for a Euro-reef rs100... I've searched around, tryed to find it on their website and manuals... I can't find anything on the it.

The skimmer section of my sump is 12x18x?? How high should the baffle be for ideal skimmer operation.?

The Euro Reef manual says that the skimmer should be in 6 to 8 inches of water. If the skimmer section of your sump is deeper you can always build some kind of small box for your skimmer to sit on. For example the skimmer section in my sump is 12 inches deep so I built a 4 inch high box out of eggrate that my skimmer sits on so that it is acutally sitting in 8 inches of water.

Also its not the depth thats so important is the stability of the water level. Once you get it set up for whatever depth your using it should work fine.

That skimmer will do better on the lower level side at 6"
