surgicalsense Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Photos to see what your description of fizzing is? might help I can't, sorry ... But I will explain it clearly. If you were to look down into the hole where the skimming cup goes. Well you see it fizzing with the water is all. Link to comment

gena Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Sounds like it needs more air????? Maybe your water is all clean now. Throw some cocktail shrimp in there! Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Sounds like it needs more air????? Maybe your water is all clean now. Throw some cocktail shrimp in there! The water in the bucket is really yucky. I will open up the valve some more. Trog, no bubbles ... fizzing, it is fizzing It has been fizzing from the moment I plugged it in. I can not put the brain coral anywhere. The pistol shrimp keep moving it, I moved it away from their den. Well they decided to use the opening on the other side. Geesh, no happy medium here with these two. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Took the skimmer apart... adjusted the air tubing inside. I am assuming it was kind of pinched. So I opened it up and also adjusted the blue air valve a bit more. It is now bubbling inside (not inside the cup) just inside the neck of the cup Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I wonder if everyone is flat out lying to us tunze skimmer noobs. Mine has been up and running for at least three weeks and I think I finally got it figured out but I have to adjust the valve and the height every day. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 People are really shopping on eBay lately. I relisted some items that I couldn't sell before and they are selling now...ka-ching $$$ This funds my reef habit I love your trade off. I am happy it is selling. I have a few items posted for sale. Priced to sell even. bubbles? thats the real kicker if its making bubbles! mine blows bubbles all day long I got my hands wet with my skimmer lastnight. I corrected and found the issue I wonder if everyone is flat out lying to us tunze skimmer noobs. Mine has been up and running for at least three weeks and I think I finally got it figured out but I have to adjust the valve and the height every day. What do you mean by, skimmer noobs? Why are folks lying? Update on skimmer: So after dismantling my skimmer and repositioning the hose line. It began to bubble correctly. So I opened it up a bit more only because I was not sure of intake on this thing. This morning the cup was full with about an inch of water. So I was pleased with this and dumped the water. Tightened up the air valve so that it will not dump the excess water in the skim cup again and will see how it responds today when I get home from work Link to comment
Chief Reefer Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I wonder if everyone is flat out lying to us tunze skimmer noobs. Mine has been up and running for at least three weeks and I think I finally got it figured out but I have to adjust the valve and the height every day. I have the same problem with mine - I figured its what I get for buying used. The skimmer is in a part of my sump that the water level never changes. First the tube was pinched, fixed that, now it needs daily adjustment. Think I am just going to stick with daily water changes and leave it plugged in for looks Link to comment
Trogdor447 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 lol once you get the skimmer dialed in its great - i was doing daily for 2 weeks or so Link to comment

Think I am just going to stick with daily water changes and leave it plugged in for looks I am not worried all that much with the fine tuning of it. I feel it is somewhat natural to flucate like that. That is why we have the air valve to adjust it as needed. The balance of the tank will always change due to what we add/remove. Link to comment
