Was your tank an established tank when you put the skimmer in? If so how long has your tank been up and running? I have a SWC Extreme 200 that I put into a new tank. I am happy with the skimmer but it skims dryer than what you are showing. The bubble production is great but since my tank is fairly new I am wondering if that may be part of the reason I am not getting as much skimmate. For all intensive purposes it is a completely different skimmer design and different pump though so I would not expect them to perform the same.

Yeah my tank has been running for about 2 years and is pretty heavily stocked. If you want it wetter just lowere the riser pipe or turn Not sure how yours is adjusted) just make small adjustments so you can see how they work for you.....
Higher the water in skimmer body = more wet Cheers TJ

Thanks, I set it up as close as possible to how they were recomending on the RC forum thread that is specific for this skimmer. Right now the water level is at the first bed in the skimmer body but could be higher. I may just play around with it like you said. I also have the skimmer raised so its in about 6-7 inches of water with little backpressure. I was just thinking that a new tank where I havent been feeding much and is lightly stocked may not produce as much skimmate.

More than likely not that much to skim yet.....
Wouldn't worry too much as it's so easy to adjust you can make changes as you need too...but sounds like you have it set about right....
