    using deltec apf600 skimmer?

    using deltec apf600 skimmer?

    hi, i have had the skimmer set-up and running now for a few days properly, and it was set-up from the instructions and they say that you should set it up and turn the air valve to 2 oclock, and the skimmer should have air bubbles half way up the tube towards the dispenser so i set it at this level, but if i have it at this level the skimmate wont get to the tube? or will it work its way to the tube? or how should i set it up, how far up the tube should the bubbles go?

    sorry but the instructiions are s**t!

    thanx for replies in advance.

    I would set it up according to the manufacturer's instructions and then wait a week before making any adjustments. It may take a few days before it starts producing skimmate. That is not all that unusual for new skimmers.
