Mine is also set to 3 and it works well. If I turn it up much more over 3 it overfills quickly. There is 11.5" of water in the sump compartment my skimmer is in and it sits on a 4.5" egg create stand, leaving it (by fluke I might add) at the 7 inch sweet spot.

Here's a pic of when I first got it, it's not running or fully set up in this pic but you get the idea

My sumps a little dirty, compared to Laurie's but here's my skimmer in action. It's set at number 3 and is 10.25" in the water

Can't imagine why you would think that (for those who don't know Steve did the baffles in my sump)

lol My sump in that pic looks so clean because that pic was taken the first day I added water to the tank.

So I jacked up the egg crate with a piece of 1" PVC. That puts me at 8.75" and it still foams over. I will have to build something higher with egg crate this weekend I think.

I got mine jacked up to around 7.5" now and it seems to be working now! Not overflowing anyway, so I think between here and 7" is where you need to be!

I jacked up my skimmer to 6.75" and it works great now.
