    Just curious how ofter you all need to make adjustments. The First one I had I dialed it in and almost never needed to touch it again. The one in the sump now works better but constantally needs adjustment every two days or so. Just curious how often you have to do yours?

    my Hydor on my reef tank has not needed any adjustments..
    My ASM I have to adjust frequently...I still have not got it situated properly. Some times it runs so wet that I fill the cup in one day. Then it seems like I have it adjusted properly and runs fine for a day or two, and then it fills it up again. So I am still working on that.
