I finally got it hooked up this week.

It has taken me a little while to get used to adjusting it, but, I think I have it figured out. Trying to figure out if more air equals more bubbles or bigger bubbles. Or if less air equals less bubbles or smaller bubbles. Just have to get myself used to making an adjustment and then giving it sometime to settle in and do it's thing.

I read your post on RC about how feeding or putting your hands in the tank can effect the skimmer. I have noticed a drop off in production after I worked in the tank. I just have to learn to leave the skimmer alone and let it start producing on it's own again without fiddling with the settings. It's been a new learning process so far.

I hooked it up to a Mag 12 for now just to see how it will work with that size pump. I was thinking of using a Mag 18.

So, here come the ?'s

Are the Mag pumps considered pressure rated pumps?

Would I get finer bubbles using a bigger pump? Mag 18 compared to a Mag 12?

Or should I be looking at getting a MAK 4, Little Giant, or something along those lines.?

Thanks Dale
