Hi Guys,
I am completely new to the forum, but I hoping someone or lots of you can help. So, I have a second hand RSM 130D. I have set everything up and I have the air intake tube out as it's meant to and my skimmer is on. The air intake tube has been closed off with the tap. I know it's meant to be fully open and create the suction. The problem I'm having, is I'm getting white wet foam overflowing into the collection cup even with the air intake shut off. When I fully open it up to allow the suction, which it does, it overflows a lot quicker. The water level is inline with the top marker on the side and the top edge of the glass rim. The height of the column in the collection cup is fully up.
I really don't know what to do, so I have just turned it off for now. It's a fishless cycle (3 days old).
Any advice is really appreciate thanks for reading my first post,
The Optom
