Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
It must be that time. My ASM skimmer pump is making a grinding noise. Turned it off and will try and clean it Fri. I have an Elos PS1000 skimmer I will use in the meantime.
In my experience that pipe should down as far it can go and then you turn without pulling to adjust flow. It may still need to break in like others said.
How long have you had it running?
So just watched the video. The left of your skimmer there are 2 baffles about 2" part or less. Do you have a filter pad in there as that is what prevents micro bubbles into the return chamber/ display tank. Here is a pic of mine. The black filter pad is narrow and prevents micro bubbles.
My personal opinion is Reef Octopus or Bubble Mac. I had the curve 5 on a 75g tank and was great, see below.

Twice a day if possible. Usually flake or Nori morning early afternoon and a cube of frozen at night. If I miss a feeding I don't double up on one.
During vacation I leave prelabeled frozen food about a cube and half and have the person feed every other day.
I am interested in some of the fish. Don't care for the tang ( have 1), clown or damsel. LMK
Or if someone wants to split they with me as I really want wrasse pair.
Thanks. It just makes it easier for people that don't know where you located and saves many questions.
This is why I put my zip in automatically for each post.
