i installed the protein skimmed today and the bubbles are over flowing from the top..the lid wont stay still...keeps hovering....did i install it wrong or is this being caused by too much air sucked in?
I disagree, if its overflowing like that then you're running it too wet. Dial it all the way down so that there are no bubbles/ water coming over the edge of the collection cup. Then over the course of maybe 30 mins make very small adjustments till the bubbles are just reaching the top. Leave it there and as the skimmer breaks in the bubbles will start flowing over. Once the skimmer is broken in you can adjust it to skim wetter or dryer.
I never understood "breaking in" what is breaking in?
