Over the last week Ive been running the skimmer wide open. I'm getting some very dense foam and some very dark skimmate
 I Have also been over feeding making sure the skimmer is having to work hard and it has passed with flying colors! This weekend Im upgrading my system and am expecting a small cycle, Im really looking forward to seeing what this thing pulls outCheers Ray

So its been almost 2 weeks of running my skimmer wide open and it has become my favorite setting. The skimmer will perform differently in every system but in my system the sweet spot is in 8" and the intake wide open. By far out of all the skimmers I have run(5) this is my favorite by far

wow!! You have it set to MAX and in 8" of water, thats impressive.
I have mine in 10" set to 3, the skimmate is not that dark but I have very low nutrients. Impressive stuff

Im a big fan of the thick nasty skimmate lol I like running it wide open because of the nice dense foam it produces. The bubble are nice and thick you could almost cut it with a knife lol I do find that this skimmer is a bit too powerful for a lightly stocked 120 with 40 gal sump so I have been doing a little over feeding.

Finally moved this into my new set up! My new set up is alot quieter than my previous one and I never noticed this before but I now can hear the air draw on this skimmer and it sounds like its taking in a ton! by no means is it loud or annoying. you can only hear it when your within a couple of feet of it. Its been pulling lots of junk out of the tank over the last 2 days. I will post some pics of it in its new home tommorow
