Identify skimmer?

I have this skimmer


That has a g500 pump. I don't see any possible way to adjust air or anything? I just set this tank up and bought it all used. There is still sand and salt settling and it's filling up pretty fast. I set it where he said he put it...

 

Might be a coralife.

 

Looks like a gsm1 or a Euro reef of some kind
There's no water adjustment that I know of. Air adjustment would be with the little air carb on the air pump.

Hth

 

That's definitely NOT a coralife. 100% sure on that one. Coralifes design on the neck has a screw on cup. With an O-Ring on the face of the mating surface. Not an external o-ring like this one. I'm not sure what kind of skimmer it is though. Also, it will keep overflowing no matter what skimmer you use. Due to the fact that it's a new tank setup, and the salt is still dissolving. You should leave the skimmer off and let the tank set up. Give it about 2 weeks or so, assuming the salinity and everything is in check, then turn back on the skimmer. Although its pretty much not necessary until after the tank is cycled. In my opinion. You should let the tank do it's thing, get the ammonia stabilzed to 0 (after cycling is completed) and then start running the skimmer. I read somewhere that using the skimmer upon initial setup of the tank may actually slow down the cycling process. Removing some of the organics too quickly that are needed for the cycling process. A large water change after the process is completed will put everything at a great starting point to run the skimmer. Allowing it to maintain up to the tank, rather than catch up to it.

 

Here's your skimmer
Select the size "G-1"

Well I certainly blew that one. And to think I owned an ASM G2 back in the 90's

 

LOL, no worries. Thats pretty funny though.

 

I had an ASM G series and the water was adjusted by sliding the tube on the side up and down. I can't see if this is the same because of the foam filter in the picture. Mine had an O ring that allowed the inside tube to slide up and down if that makes any sense.

 

BTW... mine never worked well and was a pain to adjust so i got rid of it.

 

Yes he is correct the tube slides up and down to adjust water level. I actually own two of these a G1 and A G1X. I have never had any issues with them but just ordered the WM 121.Talk about an upgrade.lol
