How do I set a Cpr Aeroforce skimmer?

[ryanb69]

Ok thanks! It's actually a used skimmer, my brother had it so it is already broken in! Last night I got pure clear liquid, so I'll adjust the water pump to allow less water into the skimmer. Also, does height of the skimmer cup matter? And my air intake creates an annoying suction sound, anyway to stop it? Thanks!

Yes the height of the cup will also determine what is being collected, if the cup
is too low the skimmer will produce too wet of foam(clear liquid) as if too high it may not produce
enough liquid so adjust a little at a time to find the happy medium. As for making it quieter, im sure if you google the skimmer with mod at the end you may find some trick to slience it a little, however all skimmers will make some noise due to mixing of air an water at high
rates.

The water level height in your tank orsump will also effect the performance of your skimmer. You may want to pickup a timmer or unplug it as its also best to shut it down
in a smaller tank, as when you feed this can cause the skimmer to over skim or overflow the cup.
