Aqua C Remora EV-180 Skimmer problems HELP!
 

Hey guys i have a EV-180 skimmer set up right now on my fresh 35 gallon.... It doesnt seem to want to work. I have it set up in my sump raised a good amount out of the water, the gate valve itself is still submerged by half and the water level is a good 1.5" under the top of the black box, I turn it on and I get bubbles happening but nothing breaking the top and producing skimmate. Someone please help me out if you have knowledge of this product thank you.

it should be high enough where the gate valve out put is above the water line, not submerged at all.

Are using it on a freshwater tank?

I could be wrong, but I don't think skimmers work that well in freshwater.

no.

Ya i have been looking through this a bunch of times and trying to fine tune it...

Thats what i was thinking.. so is it going to make the difference if it is out of the water?

yep - it changes the back-pressure within the unit

I think the new skimmer is need to take about a couple days to break in.
