Anyone using a Bermuda 5C?

Just trying to find the sweet spot to get some good skimmate. If anyone out there has one, where do you have your water line set in the main chamber? I'm running mine with a mag12 in a med stocked 180 mixed reef. How much, on average, skimmate should i be getting when dialed in?

Half inch from below cup is a good starting point.Im using a Mag 18 with a ball valve throttled back.I get about a galon a day of dark skimmate on a 120.

really..wow, ok. Do you get a lot of foam in the cup as well, or just skimmate flowing over the sides?

I have been looking at these and have a question...How do they work? I saw the website's claim and don't see why they work so much better. Please clue me in. I'm looking to upgrade my ASM G-3 as I am installing a 180g soon.

Thanks.
