I found the issue, my outside airline was restricting the flow of air, so looks like i'm off to the hardware store for a bigger hose

It's the mantis eating the fish, if you can get a trap near where he lives, and put a silverside or something in there, you might get lucky and catch him.

Yup, this is what i was talking about with messing with the air intake, still going to take more fine tuning but i think i'll have it in a few days.

Well, i decided to mess with that air intake adjustment more and the more i open it, the further down the bubbles go away from the cup, so with that knowledge this will be tuned in in a few days. Just wish i knew that would happen a week or two ago, lol.

Thats some neat stuff there

It may be a bit large, BRS says at a heavy load it's rated for 150g, which is about the total water in my setup, but the vertex 180 wasn't going to be enough for me as far as air interaction in the sump, i'm getting a .15 increase in ph just from the skimmer change. There will be more fish going...

I cracked the air valve a hair more open and it seems to have stopped the overflowing for now, too early to tell if it will stay that way.

Water level is constant, i would think if it was too big for the tank then it just wouldn't build head and the cup would stay empty no? I wanted the increased air to help with my ph problem as the room is sealed and not a lot of fresh air gets in.

It might work, anything is worth trying, i don't really think its the water level though, i think it's the amount of air being pushed up, but i also don't have much experience with skimmers, i've owned one that wasn't nearly this powerful.

Even when i dosed light, 20ml per day, i still spaced mine for a 24 hour period. I used the pouches to make things quick and easy. roughly 3700ml in a gallon / 20 a day and it will last half a year. what i'm doing alternatively now that i'm sps light is dosing kalc through my doser. roughly...

Honestly for the little amount you are dosing, you can get brs pre packaged and it will last you for months, cheap for 5 bucks per gallon.

Looking for $250 or make on offer on the skimmer, i'll take a trade for a nintendo 3ds xl at this point as well. Dosers are 50 a piece, pick up in winslow township nj.

I might try that out if this thing goes back to spilling over again.

It's adjusted so that it lets in the least amount of air at this point, the pump is also a bit of a beast, the skimmer is only about an inch taller than my reef octo, but pushes out 1800lph air instead of the reef octo at 800 or so lph, so i was expecting more of a break in than i had with the...

With cupramine, the dosage they have on the bottle i think says to repeat in a day or so to bring it up to full dosage, they don't want the full dosage at one shot because it might shock the fish. i actually spaced mine out to 4 doses and brought it up to .4 instead of .5. I also left my fish in...

They recommend 7-8.5 inches for water height, it's in about 7.25 inches. If i found an eggcrate then maybe lift it up a bit more would be an option, but unfortunately i can't take it much higher than that, or it will hit the bottom of the tank. When i take the cup off i have to move it to the...

I'm hoping it's at the end of the break in, it's not pouring out anymore, though still steady enough that the cup would fill in about an hour. If i feed the fish it actually goes and skims great for a few hours. I thought about the skimmer being too big but i would think if it was then it...

I would let it go, open bar, free drinks, she's probably busy and if she is using mixer bottles she has no idea what exactly you were asking for, honestly I bet she thought when you said that you were half joking and just wanted some bourbon, she put it in the martini glass to play along.

I have a brs and a drew's doser, i'm not using either, i'll send you a pm.
