on the weekend I made a eggcrate stand for the skimmer and its now sitting in 8" of water and is running like a dream! The outflow knob is dialed in a 3.5(out of 6) Im staring to get that thick foam ive been looking for I took a little longer for this skimmer to break in compared to others Ive had but it was worth the wait. Will be posting pics tommorow and hopefully a video.

Cheers

This skimmer is getting better by the week Ive finally found the sweet spot on this thing and am very pleased with it. I have a few pics with 4 days of skimmate in it. For having a very light bioload at the momemt all I can say is not bad at all. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Cheers

Interesting to know, where did you set the skimming water level?

Inside the neck or just below the neck?

If inside the neck how far up?

I am running the BM-150Pro (uses the same pump) and with ultra low nutrients its still pulling Poo daily

I set the water line about an inch below the red ring on the skimmer body. I find it give the bubbles more space to build up. The skimmer is in 8" of water at the moment.

So right at the base of the neck.

This is actually where Bubble Magus recommend also for optimum dry skimming, for a more wet skim then have the water line more into the neck itself.
