Terminator II protein skimmer and sumpless kit

hello, i just got my terminator and sumpless kit in and put it together. I got it running but there are alot or fine bubbles being pushed back into the aquarium. What do i do. Also, when it starts foaming and right when it starts to push the foam out the waist hose at the top the side chamber water level rises and hits the float valve thus causing it to trip the silinoid up top and closing off the water supply. If any has any picture of where the water level is spose to be set it would be very helpfull. Thanks

 

I'm not familiar with that type of skimmer set up. But it sounds like your typical break-in period. Just dial down the air injector for the next couple of days. Then come back and readjust it in a week or so

ok, i have gotten it running but the foam looks really wet, it is not foaming up and out, does anyone know how to adj. it.or will it just take a couple of days to start up.

 

hey! i am looking hard for a sumpless skimmer that won't leak. this sounds like a dream come true.

do you still have it? have you had an issues? and would you recommend it to me?

anything i should know about befre using?

thanks in advance.

 

Yes.........You should know they SUCK HORRIBLY, the main pumps are junk, and all the skimmate it produces mixes back in to the water and back out in to the tank before it ejects about 1/8th of what it produces out through the waste hose. I have had one for over 5 years now and have tried every thing to get this turd to work right. The ONLY thing you can do is raise the out feed tube way up there and skim as wet as possible, as well you can use a better air valve. But thats it. It is with out a doubt the most over engineered non performing peice of crap I ever waiste dmoney on. Technical support ? Yeah youcan forget about that. They will not answert the phone and they take about 3 weeks to answer an email.

I do not normally talk so bad about products but this thing is horrid.
Take the user aboves current skimming with it and add a thick stink mess inside the skimmer body instead of the out put hose and into the collection container and you have all you will ever get out if it.
I was weary of buying it because it had no collection cup and it seemed that the funk would remix and shoot straight back out. But Noooo I didnt trust my gut. Now I am stuck with it LOL !!
