Coral Life Super Skimmer 65 Instructions Needed.

[JayBeDriften]

Hello everyone. I was hoping that someone would have a text file or URL with instructions on how to setup and fine tune the Coral Life Super Skimmer 65. I accidently misplaced my manual and have to setup my new skimmer on my cycling 47 gallon Cube Reef Aquarium.

I can ask my LFS to fax it to you, if no one has one available. I've used them before, so if you have any questions, I can try to answer them.

The key to setting this skimmer up is making sure to cut the flex tube from the pump to the intake on the skimmer as shorts as possible. If the tube is too long the skimmer does not work as well. You are trying to get the pump as high up in the water as possible. Don't worry about the micro bubbles, they go away eventualy. The micro bubble cup should be placed so it is on the top of the water. The return tube should be cut so that it sits in the foam about 1" inside the foam block. Raise the foam block so it comes out of the water a bit(1/8" to 1/4"). Try that out and let us know how it is going.

Thank you guys for the help. Sorry that I haven't been on the boards much. I just purchased a new car and have been running around between work and school and the dealership to get things settled.
