Thanks TJSlayer,
I left the valve fully open and I going to leave opened for a few days. Sofar everything is going well. Also, thank you for this posting the review, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't know about the skimmer.

No problem at all!
I wouldn't worry too much about fine tuning it for a few days, doesn't seem to take long to break in though....

Re: NEW SWC Extreme 160 Cone review

Re: NEW SWC Extreme 160 Cone review
Wouldn't hurt to try it, you will probably find it easier to adjust.

Re: NEW SWC Extreme 160 Cone review
I thought you had a really nice skimmer? Or are you looking for something smaller?

I should probably be posting this in the general forum but i am torn between getting the cone 120 and the 160. Its for a 50 gallon total water volume, but i like the idea of being able to just swap over the skimmer for when a big upgrade happens and its only about $50 more. From the amount of skimmate you guys are pulling out it seems the 160 will be over kill. any suggestions.

It maybe a little over kill but if you are thinking of upgrading in the future the 160 would work just fine in you're tank. You may not pull the same amount as others but the skimmer will work great. My current setup is 55gallon tank with a 20gallon sump and heavily stocked. My total water volume is approximately 60gallon and the skimmer performs well.
