Help with new skimmer (ReefOctopus DNW-400)

Hi everyone,

Having some trouble setting my new skimmer....

How high do you set the water level in the skimmer? I have it set just below the thumb screws at the bottom of the collection cup. It has been running for 24H and it isn't producing any foam.

Help please

Thanks,

Marty

It'll pry look like soda fizz for around a week, then it will start producing some skimmate. Then after two weeks it'll be consistently producing skimmate, they you can fine tune it and your set.
