If you use the black box you can also minimize the bubbles by using a bag of carbon, chemi-pure, etc. in it.

Good thread, thanks for starting it mytank90. I have the same kind of skimmer which I'm also trying to dial in. Not producing much skimmate at the moment due to the new set-up and low bio load. I'm using a Rio 2100 pump but I don't have a needle wheel impeller which may be part of the problem. I too am getting bubbles and I'll try the carbon bag in the box.

you should get a needle wheel impeller it will help immensely you need as many tiny bubbles as you can get. the two black knobs are for dialing in I have mine set halfway between the outlet and the skimmer body. I find have in them point to wards the middle or each other it was a bit easer to dial in.

one other note the pump has to be atleast 1 inch under water mine is about 6 inches under water. works great makes very dark skimmate se for your self in pic's in the 110g tank journal link.
