Problems with BM curve 5.
Hello everyone i'm new to the salty's and i just fill my 60 gallon cube 7 days ago and my bubble magus curve 5 toke some cloudy water in the first days and now is not doing more that foam that goes slowly for the cup i notice that seems to have more water than foam no mater the level of air in take.
I've got as wel micro bubbles runing out of the bottom of the skinner that after goes to the return pump and to the display. Is this normal? Wat can i do? Sory for my bad inglish. Best regards, Santiago. |

It need to break in. Took mine over 2 weeks.
You cannot adjust air intake, the tube adjusts water output. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You mentioned your tank is new, there is probably very little waste in the water to remove. I always suggest running a new system for at least 2-months before using a skimmer. Also, if you used any coral putty that will cause it to go crazy.
