Hello, Im after a bit of assistance if possible.
Tank is a RedSeaMax 130D, the RSM Filter & Skimmer sections have been removed and replaced with a Media rack & Tunze 9001 skimmer.
Filter media is as follows top to bottom:
Section 1: Course & Fine filter fibre filters to remove larger contaminants.
Section 2: Seachem Purigen
Section 3: Sachem Matrix 250
Tanks been up and running with live rock for around a week and the clean up crew have been stocked.
The bit Im struggling with is the set up of the Tunze skimmer. Last night I tweaked it again so that it was producing a frothing foam within the neck of the removable skimmer cup but not overflowing. Today there is a very small amount of water in the cup and the froth has died back.
Im wondering it Ive set it up correctly.
Instructions reference three options (Contact foam skimming & standard skimming & Surface skimming). Mine is set up out of the box so is Contact foam skimming.
So Im wondering if I have the unit set up properly or should be using a different configuration and also if the Course & Fine filter media are also causing problems.
Others who use this unit in a back of box tank can you advise which otption you are using and also any tips to get it set up. The videos on line aren't really helping much.
Thanks for any help in advance.
