    The air adjustment nob is at the end of the air intake from the pump (which goes to the top of the skimmer cup). It looks like just a black cap with a hole. Lighten or loosen this in order to control the amount of air allowed into the skimmer.

    She has the Hydor Slim Skim. Water depth/skimmer height can be adjusted by using the included magnets which attach to the rear of the skimmer. That's the only big problem I've found; you can't easily adjust skimmer depth in tight spaces (Hydor says the magnets/clips can be removed to reduce skimmer footprint. But then you need to put something uder it to adjust depth).
