I'll get a pic later on today. my understanding is that the level of the gate valve should be lower than the water level you want in the skimmer, that way you can control it to get wetter or drier skimmate. I don't think my gate valve on the rs250 is in the right spot as the valve is wide open all the time and generally ineffective, although the skimmer definitely gets the job done. I've been meaning to relocate it but its on the list of things that never get done.
