I have a recirculating Reef octopus for my 29 gal. biocube.
1. When I turn the power off to the feed pump and skimmer pump the skimmer overflows from the air silencer. What can I do to prevent this?
2. Where should I set the water level on the skimmer? If I set towards the very top I can wet skim but the skimmate is very light in color. If I set towards the bottom of the cup I get crud build up and very little on the collection cup.
3. Is it normal for the skimmer to be sensitive to water height changes? It seems to skim differently depending high the water is in the second chamber.
