Tunze 9002 Micro Bubbles

[Coralgurl]

I'm not thrilled with my tunze at all. Mine is in my tank as I don't have a sump, have micro bubbles as well not as bad as it has been in the past, have had it since august. I don't have a heavy bio load in my tank, find I don't have to clean for at least a month and has never gotten even half full. I've adjusted it's height in the tank and dropped the water level off, if I go over the line, it doesn't seem to work.

I had mine in compartment 1 of a solana. I put a few layers of filter floss before compartment 2 and that prevented the micro bubbles from getting into the tank. Not sure your setup allows this? The filter floss did a lot more for my water quality (I replaced it often) than that skimmer ever did.

I keep my water line at the suggested water line. Not sure if I could put the filter floss in but I'll look into it. It has never really skimmed well, I don't have much of a bio load especially after the first time I turned it on. It filled half full in about 2 days and ever since it has just gotten maybe a teaspoon every week or so.

Do you have an auto topoff? I found it to be very sensitive to water level fluctuations.

I dont have an ATO but I do refill every night, the water level doesn't seem to move more than maybe 1-2cm
