mini BK 160 with Red Dragon X pump
Hi: I have been using the new mini BK 160 with the Red Dragon X pump for a fez months. I am happy because it is the quietest skimmer I have ever had. However, I'¡m a little bit disappointed because I can not regulate it to extract more and lighter skimmate. It produces a small amount of a very dark skimmate. If I open the valve to make the bubbles rise in the collecting chamber then water begins to flow between the body and the cup.
Water height in the sump where it is located is 22 cm. Any ideas on how to get more and lighter skimmate? |

Thanks again Slief. I'll try both tricks and check if I can raise the break line without much seepage between the body and the cup
