Here is a manual I scanned. If you can't make it out let me know and I will rescan it with a better dpi.

I found the most important step is to set the venturi for a height of 1 5/8" from the lowest postion possible and then make small adjustments in height from there. Make sure to let it run a mininimum of 1 hour to see what kind of skimmate you get after a height adjustment of the venturi.

I too am using it to cure my new 10g tank. All I have is live rock and sand because it is still cycling. It pulled out some nice green tea colored skimmate for a day and now nothing which is normal seeing there is no real bioload yet.

Will take it to work and see how it prints there and let you know.

And Thanks lots.

Im still getting Mirco bubbles with this skimmer and i have been running it for 6 weeks or so. Just took it off the tank for a good cleaning and added a piece of sponge to the last chamber to try to cut down on the bubbles, still bubbles this morning. I may have to retire this thing soon and go with an aqua-c if i dont get this fixed. Any ideas?
