    hello everyone

    I just got this skimmer few days ago, and so far Im not sure what to think of it
    its running on my 45 g tank
    so far seems to be really loud, and pushing alot of air bubbles back to the tank
    not sure if its just breaking in, or thats how it works .....
    If any of you guys have any info on this skimmer I would greatly like to hear it before I throw it out the window

    They definitely throw some major bubbles and don't run well for the first week or so. Set the cup really high and bear with it for now. If you have any questions about it, feel free to pm me.

    I did alot of research on hob skimmers under $200 range, and this one was the only one without any negative comments
    really hope it just needs to run for some time to settle ..
