They are coming with-in about an inch of the top of the skimmer body (just under the collection cup).Sweet! Now, if you take the collection cup off, do the bubbles overflow or break inside the body of the skimmer?
Thank you for checking! I made a stand out of PCV with a piece of acrylic on top and it is at 8 1/2". I put a few pieces of acrylic to shim it up to see if it would help. I'll add some short legs to my stand to make it right at 8".Cousins quantum is just under 8". Empties and cleans cup weekly dark nasty stuff
alright, like the original post says, start closing your air intake to make the bubbles smaller. This will also raise the height of where they break. Once you get a smaller bubble size (others have stated pea size is best), then slowly start to close the gate until the bubbles almost overflow out of the body/neck/place where you attach the cup. you're in the money now. Small adjustments every few days. Maybe let it run for a week to see what you get.Thank you for checking! I made a stand out of PCV with a piece of acrylic on top and it is at 8 1/2".

Make sure you haven't had your hand in the tank or have fed for the past few hours. The oils on your hands and in those foods will not let you tune your skimmer correctly. take off the collection cup and use the blue pipe to get the bubbles to come all the way to the top without spilling over. You can put the skimmer cup back on and wait. I used this skimmer for a year and although it's not the best out there, it works. I had mine connected to a large collection cup since I kept letting the collection cup overflow.
It's producing tiny bubbles in the tower. I have it set so the bubbles won't overflow if I take off the cup.Thanks! "It's not the best out there but it works" should be their motto [emoji23]
