![]() But if i turn it off, it takes even longer for it to start actually skimming.. It used to work ok when I got it. Since then its just been on a quick and steady decline. I should mention Im using it on a 72 gallon bowfront with 20 gallon sump. Its rated for up to 100 gallons. I figure it should be pulling out a lot more than that if its almost at its limit. I took it all apart and everything seems normal so I'm pretty confused and frustrated with this thing. I have it in the correct depth of water as well.

![]() I've heard a few bad things about this one and its big brother (NWB-150-SSS), specifically with sensitivity to water level and feeding. You can always try adjusting it to skim a bit wetter. I prefer a dry skimmate, but then this requires cleaning the neck every couple of days because the buildup reduces skimming efficiency and eventually it will just stop skimming altogether if the neck isn't cleaned. Wet skimming avoids this to some extent.

![]() Only time my skimmers have ever shut down was during heavy feeding with PE mysis. Anything else was fine. Hands in tank, no problem.
