Smallreefer Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Hi all i just got my first protein skimmer (thx steve) i now just have a few questions about it.Firstly it is a via-aqua hang on skimmer for my 90l tank. Now it seems to be producing a lot of micro bubbles in the main tank is this normall when you first set one up? Also was just wondering if there should be any seawater in the collection cup. thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slappers Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 yes you will get miro bubbles when you first start up a new skimmer takes about two to four weeks for it to settle could be longer salt water in the cup .....No sounds like you will need to do some adjusting it just needs a bit of running in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostface Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 if the gunk it pulls out is too watery, lower the level of water in the skimmer [is this possible on a via aqua steve?] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 you should just be able to lift the collection cup up a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
