Just can not find the right skimmer :(

A friend of mine has that skimmer and loves it.

Got it setup in my little sump...barely fit...haha. The build quality seems great, the packaging was awesome, and it is DEAD silent. If it skims as well for me as it has for others, I dont know how you can beat it for $200.

Up and running:




You can see where I set the water level, do you think that is the best spot for break in?

 

Looks great to me EllisJuan

cant tell from image, but normally skimmers operate best in water between 8 and 10 inches deep

The water in my skimmer section is 9". I am hoping this is the sweet spot

 

Wow. If I would have ready that earlier, it would have made my skimmer selection even easier. I hope mine works as well for me as his does for him...haha.

It really is a very nice piece.

 

I guess by water level, I was referring to the height of the bubbles. I adjusted the bubble level to that height thinking it need to break in and when it does, did not want an overflow. This is my first skimmer.
