Default Mini Bubble King 160 Owners

Can someone please tell me what the min. and max. and optimal water heights are for this skimmer? I'm trying to firm up my sump design and want to get the sump designed before the skimmer arrives.

Thanks

I have a BK Mini 180 and the water level you want in your sump is just a little under 9". The only way I was able to keep it at that level was with an auto top off. When you take the collection cup off while your skimmer is running the bubbles should be right at the top without spilling over. I found that it skims the best that way. Good luck as BubbleKings come without a instructions.

"The lower water level of the Mini Bubble King should not be below 13 cm and shouldn’t exceed 30 cm. The best matching water level is between 20 and 25 cm."
I love my 160 I have had for nearly 2 years.
