Bubble Magus180-CS Cone Skimmer

Mine sits in about 9" of water and works great. Setting is almost at 3 most of the time. On occasion I need to dial it back a bit to 4 such as after a water change.

So go for about 8-9 inches of water? At about a 3-4 setting? What's the settings mean btw? Like a higher number is less water getting skimmed?

The higher the number the more water is being let out the back tube which is used to adjust the water level in the skimmer. So at 5 it is going to be as low as it can be and then getting close to 1 you are raising the water level in the skimmer body to its max.

I doesn't really have anything to do with the amount of water being skimmed just the water level in the skimmer itself.

Thanks a lot.
