Improvements on Super Reef Devil Skimmer?

acurro · 09/29/2006, 09:23 AM

I have a Super Reef Devil (the smallest ETS downdraft skimmer) on my 90 gallon reef and I believe the skimmate is not as thick as it should be. I read all the posts about skimmate being so smelly, and my skimmate is not. (It is not tea colored either). I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this skimmer, or any advice on improving it.

More bioballs will decrease the air flow slightly,good for reducing excessive wet foaming.Also opening gate valve or raising skimmer should thicken skimate.
