Reef Sanctuary - View Single Post - expected skimmer output

My level in the tank is just below the back trim, and in the pump chamber about 1/2" below the pump tops. When it drops about 1.5 - 2" below the pump tops I know it's time to clean or replace my filter pad before I start getting a whiteout of microbubbles.
