Any idea what the required water level is for this skimmer?? I don't have that high of a sump and I know that the Bubble Magus NAC6 requires 11" of water as I have one of those and it works fantastic. If this skimmer doesn't require over 7" I am game!!

The recommended level is 8.5"to 9.5"

Default how did you tune the skimmer for fine bubbles?

Hi burrow,

I was wondering how you got those fine bubbles in the picture. I have the Nac 7 running in 12 inches of water. The bubbles that come out of the pump somewhat large, nothing like your picture.

Thanks for any advice!

I would raise the skimmer up a few inches and check your air line to make sure its not clogged. You should maybe check the mesh wheel also to make sure there is no blockage. Mine was plug and play and had no issues.

Let me know if any of that helps

Cheers
Ray
