So how's the surface skimmer working out? I just got mine last night and set it up on my ac300. I'm uh ... less than thrilled. It's pretty ugly in the small space of a 5.5g tank.
1. The surface skimmer doesn't skim. If I adjust it so there is more suction, it drags in air bubbles which are noisy and interfere with the impeller's proper operation.
2. I also got the mini impeller on smoeone's advice - they said it would reduce flow etc. Well it did. So much so that it can't pump the water up the tube.
3. Is the surface skimmer supposed to float? The little clear part tends to get bubbles trapped underneath it and it'll float, causing the suction to stop.
Any tips from you? I'll give it a week or so, but if it's gonna stay it needs to be operating correctly, which it isn't doing now. Some instructions would be cool, even if it is a simple device.
Thx!
