Protein skimmer help??!

whats the "loop?"

 

Where it loops over out of the tank from the pump

 

Tighten it all the way and you will see that it will be just water going str8 through, then unscrew it loose again and tighten it very little by little till you get it to just start going over with a good mixture of bubbles

 

one sec ill take a video really fast.

 

ok first u need to put a adjustment valve on the end of the air line so you can adjust the level of the bubbles in the chamber to get them a lil higher.so first get the piece for the air line to adjust flow of air

 

heres the video to it with the adjustment valve on it, does it look about right??
and all that gunk on the top, how do i get that all out?

is this good?

 

yes that is better but you will constantly need to adjust it to get the right foam you want. You also might want to clean the skimmer (inside chamber) with that gunk building up like that it will not work as good.

 

Looks like you got it, just play with it for a couple days if it changes and it could probably use a good cleaning because of that gunk you got building up in there, then you will have to adjust it again and let it break in a couple days and you'll be set:2thumbsup

 

ive tried to get ride of the gunk, but u cant really get into that chamber... because it doesnt really come apart, i just filled it up shook it around and stuff like that, but thats all i could get , u shouldve seen it before!
