![]() If there's nothing in the tank to skim, it's going to be tough to tune it. I would expect the water line to be closer to the neck of the cup tho.
These were fairly popular a couple years ago, so someone should have some tips.

![]() Ok, thanks Brad. I guess I'll just be a bit more patient. Truthfully, you were the one person whom I was hoping would convince me to get a BK, lol.

![]() You know, I have the BK Mini 200 and I love it. But I got it for a few hundred bucks. Would I pay 1200?? No, probably not. The "well made" argument doesn't cut it, it sits in a sump of water, and I rarely kick it across the room. The "fancy" Magic Dragon pump is really just a Laguna pump, worth maybe 120? It's a great design, I like the cup and how it comes apart, but in the end, it's just a skimmer. I wouldn't buy one new unless I found a bag of money. I think there are skimmers that perform equally for a lot less money. Maybe not built as solid, but this thing is way over built for it's intended use.

![]() I think that you need to wait until you have a bio load before making adjustments. Theres nothing really to skim at this point. Give it some time and it'll start doing its job.
Theres not even any color in those bubbles yet!
