Blue/green skimmate, is that something new and funky... :lol: :razz: :mrgreen:

From looking at the picture, you took the mounting bracket off, and just put the skimmer in the Aquaclear. I bought one last night for $21.99. I hooked it up to the Optima that was sitting around gathering dust. I left the bracket on, and the collection cup filled up overnight, so I guess the pump needs turning down. Do you find it hard to adjust properly :question:

No, I seldomly need to make any adjustments. You might have to wait for the skimmer to break-in though before you get any consistency. Are you using a multi-valve like this to control the air?

The Optima even at its lowest setting is too powerful. So, you can have 1 valve going to the skimmer and have 1 valve to relieve the backpressure of the pump.

No, I don't have a valve. I will pick one up this evening. I also find that there a few bubbles in the tank I could do without. :frown:

Looky, looky :eek: :rolleyes:
