Default Water level for in sump skimmers
How deep of water should I let my skimmer sit in? How deep do others go?

Depends on the skimmer.

I have a Vertex 180 and it sits with 6-8" of water.

I have an old Euroreef RS100 that sits in 8-10" of water..

The manual is on the right. It is a .pdf

I have the alpha cone 250. Works the best in 10" of water. I would recommend you get an auto top up if you don't already have one so you dont have to keep adjusting your skimmer.
