water level in a big skimmer help
i just got my diy skimmer running in the garage breaking in and was wondering how high should the water go to in the skimmer.
skimmer is 12" dia x 24" tall chamber, 6"tall cone, 6"x6" riser, skimmer is rec with 2 dolphin dp900's. as of now the water is half way up the cone and i dumped a lot of skimmate from my tank into it to help kick it in quicker. the only way i get skim out of it if it goes realy wet. any thoughts? or should i just let it break in? |
