Default Deltec MCE 600 Owners

Hi all,

About 3 weeks ago I was able to buy this skimmer from a friend of mine, for a steal. Great for me as I have been running without a skimmer for the last 6 months. In just 2 days I went from having Nitrate readings that were extremely high to virtually zero ...woohoo.

The skimmer has been on my tank for almost 2 weeks now, and I still seem to get a very wet skim and not the deep dark gunk, you would expect. I know that is is just a matter of trying to get the best setup for this unit so I am hoping to see what other owners of this skimmer have.

I have the air valve set at 2 (as recommended), but for the skimmer box I have tried it in many different positions but always just get the same kind of skim. Whenever I move the box I give it a couple days, but still see the same results. This unit is on my 66 Gallon tank that is not heavily stocked (6 fish).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
