Just got my ETSS Revo 500!

Now, it is up and running in my sump. I am just wondering where the water level should be at in the skimmer? I am looking for a not wet foam, mostly dry. Thanks

i would have the foam around 2-3 Inches from the main flange. for nice dry foam and then if you want the wet stuff go abit higher.

But how high should the water level be at in the skimmer from the bottom? Like 6" for a dry foam?

you will know what wet foam loooks like tink with it. Its the easiest way to find out the higher the water the wetter the skimate the lower the water the drier the skimate
