is it just me

the exit pipe dose not go down in to water please look at model

 

and the bubles are about 1/2 inch

 

well im going back to the shop now and tell the guy ill take a aqua c remora as people on thease forams seem to rate it so much thx for all your help and my advice is if you have a fish tank the size of olimpic swimming pool this might be the skimmer for you but if your a person who wants control over your in take and out take dont buy this skimmer thx to ever one who helped

 

dj,

Please let us know what happens

BTW, What is the SG of the salt water?

John

 

Great job John, Jason, and Matt! The aqua C should yield much better results!

 

dam in england i could not get i aqua c what a bumer i had to get a red sea prysem whitch seem to be ok altho its not produceing a dark collerd foam yet but at least i can contorl it and im getting the bubles to pop just at the top of tube i red some were it bwecuse of settle in so ill wait a week or so to see what happens o john the salt level is 1.023 specific gravity im useing a r o water whitch i make my self with a kent ro unit i have the tank filled with live rock and untill now for the last 3 years ive not uased a skimmer just bio filters and lots exsternals and inturnls but i got a skimmer cos of my algy prblem green stuff slimey growing on sand

 

Are you keeping a fish only or reef tank? Wet dark foam is the stuff you want, full of DOCs and unwanted cellulite!

Algae is a sign of phosphates and nitrates which skimming will have a minimum effect on. Need a way to exoport those out of your system. A refugium is one way as is replacing a portion of the sand bed every so often

 

well i ran the prysem last night and bingo the cup was almost full of a brown gunk this morning so thats a good thing never heard of a fefugiun before but replaceing some sand i can do

 

Great job dj!

 

Stopped reading at page 2 (way too many spelling errors to decipher :

My assement.  You've got a dechlor or something of that nature messing up the water.  That skimmer should only have a few hour break in period, or at least thats what 30+ people I know whom have them have reported to me.
