Stuck in the middle - 50g tank, which Deltec skimmer?

I was referring to the cover that has the small hole that the return pipe goes into. The cover is only on one side, but, yes there is an open area on the opposite side for the return pipe to fall in to.

I have the skimmer on a new tank right now (nothing in it but saltwater) and the bubble action rose overnight to spill water in the collection cup. The collection cup was at its lowest position and the airflow was at the 2 o'clock mark. The overflow pipe did it's job and returned the excess water back into the skimmer. So it worked for me. But I'll still keep an eye out, thanks.

Ok, well just watch it.. cuz it will over flow Under "normal" conditions it will overflow nicely. But when something enters the tank that alters the surface tension, for example, those slime coat products. It will overflow like crazy.

It is talked about on RC in a few of the MCE600 threads.

Here is a link where Deltec even talks about it. though they don't mention that the overflow tube provided cannot handle it sometimes.

Its not a HUGE issue.. but I have come out to my tank a few times to see my floor covered in water from my MCE600 going wacko! Though now that I know about it I raise the collection cup after a water change. This happens with Kent salt for me. Not sure about the other salts out there.
