Sorry , I have an 80 gallon reef about 90 lbs of LR mostly soft corals and
five or so LPS apxmtly 6 small-med. reef fish.. also I have tried the fine
tuning like you said but it seems like by the time the skimmer tunes in,(or
what I think it should be) the inner tube is coated with thick sludge and
now doesnt get the chance to ride all the way up to the collection cup and
its time to clean the riser tube and start all over again wiith the tuning!
Anyway, TIA Darryl R.

of the skimate it has been producing. "green tea". Ive tried all
different
adjustments and still cant seem to dial it in correctly.

Do quarter of a turn on the knob until the skimmer settles at about the
right level, and after that you will need to do 1/8 or 1/16 of a turn to
"fine tune". Based on what you described the bubbling level is a bit
higher
then what you like, so do the fine tuning.

And if its the pump you gonna inquire about, it is a C.S.L.
T3 velocity.

The T3 does about 700 GPH at 4' head, which pushes the upper limit of the
skimmer. I happen to like it that way because I have an 120g SPS tank and
I
believe the requirement is pushing the 500 to its limit. ;p

You didnt indicate your tank size and livestock, so I cannot judge if you
such a pump or not.
