NAC-7

I read that you should be able to leave it at 9.5 to 11 but if you increase the air setting to 4 it will allow more air and less water into the cone. SHould stop overflowing then.

The air setting is at max. There is 1-4 then max, thats where its set now. If I put it at 1 the cup fills with water in seconds. at max it takes 30 sec.

Right now I have the skimmer running with the drain line open returning the water back to the sump. Its been running a week, should be broken in by now.

Mine is also set to 3 and it works well. If I turn it up much more over 3 it overfills quickly. There is 11.5" of water in the sump compartment my skimmer is in and it sits on a 4.5" egg create stand, leaving it (by fluke I might add) at the 7 inch sweet spot.

Here's a pic of when I first got it, it's not running or fully set up in this pic but you get the idea

Can't imagine why you would think that (for those who don't know Steve did the baffles in my sump)

lol My sump in that pic looks so clean because that pic was taken the first day I added water to the tank.
