well, the sump is now on and running. I have tuned it and it seems to be overflowing the tank at the same rate as it is returning so thats a good thing i guess... I have a couple of questions though.
1. What is the best way to stop the reverse syphon when the pump turns off and it flows back into the sump?
2. How do i tune my skimmer? I have only ever had a skimmer that was a part of the HOB filter and so this is my first case of setting it up. I dont know how high to set the bubbles and how to get it working right. Currently it is creating plenty of tiny bubles up the chamber but nothing is overflowing over the cup. If i had a camera I would take a picture to show how it is but my phone is currently not working!
Any hints of videos you can recommend? The skimmer is an aqua Pro (i know i know..they ar enot amazing but i had one donated and it will be much better than nothing )
