beefbroccoli · 03-24-2006, 11:16 PM

just wondering if anyone here uses a hob miracle skimmer, got this skimmer from another reefer when i bought his tank. the pump is a rio 600, works pretty well, but somehow can't get any foam in the collection cup, is this miracle is one of those worst skimmer on the market?????? or do i have to adjust something??? btw, i have a 40g tank.

i never used that one but have you just set it up recently... most of the time any skimmer needs a break in time... depends on the skimmer.. is there any way to adjust the amount of water that goes into it... when i had my prizm skimmer there was a turn knob to adjust the amount of water in the skimmer...

thanks tony,
there is a piece plastic can adjust up and down to control the amount of water in the skimmer, but somehow it didn't work even i fill the dkimmer in full, maybe need some time, but this is a old skimmer, so shouldn't need any breaktime right?
