Corallife Super Skimmer 220 help

Hey Bud. The answer is Yes to both questions. I have a sump/refugium, so the water in my display is at the same level all the time.

Did you set the water line on the neck line? (dry skim) also try to keep the water in your display at the same level everyday otherwise it will also overlow.

It skims pretty well on my fish only tank.

Naturally, the water level in my sump is going to lower when it skims out the additive.

Do I replace the water with salt water or do I replace it with fresh water?

Conversely, is the water that overflows free of salt or is it salt water?

I had exact same problem, but like deanos said it was from a chlorine remover, that overactivated the skimmer. Eventually it skimmed out all the additive, but I didnt skim for a week and than just ran it hooked up a line from overflow cup to a bucket and just ran it till it stopped foaming. If it is from additive it will eventually skim out.
I have the same skimmer just the 125 version and I dont think the depth of pump will cause this to occur, because mine is in my sump and water is always changing depths and never causing this problem

Hi Gello
the water your skimming is slat water so you would need to add salt. When the water evaportes the salt stays behind but not skimming. Hows it going now?

Hi Patrick. Thanks for the skimmer! It is working beautifully now! I only have a couple of fish in there, so I'm not running the skimmer full-time. Only a couple of hours a day.

At this point you can run it full time. If its skimming well it should be running full time. If your concerned about over flowing just hook the hose up to a 5 gallon buket and dont feed before you leave it.
