    Hi All: Is anyone running one of these on their tanks? I had a couple of questions in terms of tuning it and such.....I've never run a skimmer this big before. Thanks in advance to anyone that may have one running.....

    Nobody??? I know someone out there is running one of these. I obviously need advice because I woke up this morning with at least a gallon of water leaking into the ceiling of my basement because the skimmer cup overflowed!! Ahhh....this upgrade has been so much fun - NOT!!!

    I'm by no means a skimmer expert but I do know that if it's running that wet then you need to turn down the air intake. At least until it breaks in. I think..... :)
