    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Which coral life model?

    My least favorite skimmer for noise and adjustment reasons. If you can take it back I would and get a better skimmer.

    All I can say is that you will be happier with a better brand of skimmer.

    I believe member grinder drove over his coral life with a small SUV and finally achieved happiness.

    I agree with Corailline. In my case I had to have a HOB as I do not have a sump. With that in mind I did a ton of research before finding the best one I could afford.

    I just got the same skimmer and it's making micro bubbles and very noisy anyone here know how to reduce the noise on this thing? Is the breaking in causing this?
