coralife skimmer
how the hell does one adjust this brand of skimmer? I cant get any bubbles in it at all unless I blow into the air intake tube. Also I dont know how high to have the water in the skimmer? Into the neck of the collection cup or below?

Re: coralife skimmer
As far as your air intake tube, it sounds a little strange. I would make sure its all hooked up correctly with the tube place right on the pump.
For the water level, I was told that when your first getting it adjusted it should bubble right at the bottom of the collection cup neck and as debris builds the foam will rise.

Re: coralife skimmer
How old is it? If it's brand new it will take a week or two to "break in"

Re: coralife skimmer
there should be a little gray box with a sponge and a hole cut into the sponge, you put the return tube into that sponge box and that takes care of the micro bubbles
