    i did some cleaning on my equipment yesterday and did a complete tear down on my skimmer. after cleaning and putting it back in my sump i can not adjust this thing. it is over skimming and within seconds my collection cup is full. is there something i put back together wrong? probably something simple but i can't figure it out any help would be appreciated.

    Is there room on the dial of the standpipe to lower the water level in the skimmer down? Perhaps your venturi is really clean now? My NAC6 sometimes requires that after cleaning.

    Ha. Good to hear. Out of curiosity is your sump level any higher than it was?
    Regardless you could have done a combo of cleaning it really well and stirring things up a bit.. I love my Bubble Magus.

    no my sump level is the same as always thats what i could not understand so i guess it was just really clean. it was also pushing a ton of microbubbles out but luckly my bubble trap worked pretty good. bubble magus is by far my favorate skimmer i have ever had.
