Bubble Magus 3.5 Cone Skimmer Break-In

[fragtrader]

Hi guys:

Just fired up my new CAD Lights 39G AIO today.

I raised the height of my skimmer in the rear sump 4" so the collection cone is above the top of the tank. Here is the question: With the skimmer dialed all the way down, it is still overflowing microbubbles into the collection cup. I have removed the collection cup drain hose so it drains back into the sump.

Do these things traditionally take a long time for break-in?

Or should I raise is a couple more inches, and have the skimmer sticking a 1/3rd out of the rear sump?

Any input is appreciated.

you probably have it in too deep of water. how deep is it in your sump?

Okay, this is very old. But... I have a question if anyone wants to answer...

I've been wanting to get the SWC skimmer. However, my dimensions are off by a little in my custom AIO back chambers. Website says SWC 120 is 6" by 7.25"

However, I looked up the back chamber dimensions for CAD AIO back chamber and its 5"?

Any help is appreciated.

It looks way too deep. Try raising it a few more inches.

I would take it up about another 1" to 1 1/2" that should really help it out.
