In a small system, you will either have to live with darker skimmate but inconsistent performance or run it really wet and have lighter skimmate but better consistency. What is your pump speed and sump depth? Where is the level where the bubbles turn to foam in your neck? What issues are you seeing??


Message Marco. He is based in Ft. Myers. He runs the Double Cone 180 and can give you some tips.
Pump Speed:28
Sump depth:8"
Bubbles to Foam:16"
wedge pipe: wide open
Issues: not producing any skimate, overflowing (when adding water and when feeding fish)
