I have 2 of them love them just make sure to follow there directions on breaking in the skimmer and you be good. Also take about 15 minutes to get the water flow adjusted to the level they recommend. And, follow there maintenance plan and your golden.

Ok so I have the skimmer installed. I have the air injector at about 50 percent. Out put flow : open. If I adjust the out flow the skimmer will overflow with water. And I noticed my collection cup was colecting alot of water so I turned the injector down so that the water level is near the threads for the screw on cup(it was in the instructions). But I noticed the bubbles aren't rising to the top of the cup to overflow.any suggestions mr reef?
 
did you do the 24 hour break in? once you get past that you'll have to play with the flow level for about 15 minutes just adjust the water level to the line indicated in the instructions and your bubbles will slowly but surely start rising up into your collection cup this is the only time you'll really have to mess around with that.

it was a great skimmer(well i had the 125).

downers: bulky for hob but doable;

extrememly suggested mods: replace out put hose with pvc, buy some floss liner to put in the hob box, the stock sponges not so good.


overall rating excellent with some reservations about hob use
