SMJ: I initially had the drain submerged. Yes, it's quiet, but I had a harder time keeping a steady water level within the skimmer. A slight twist of the wedge would change the level quite a bit. Is this the reason ER doesn't recommend submerging the drain?
I'd prefer to have the drain submerged, as it's quiet. Currently, I have the drain at a 45-degree and a filter bag tied to it. Based on what your saying, it sounds like submerging the drain won't impact the skimmer's performance?
Newschool: I asked what pump you had because I have the Eheim. I thought the Gen-X was too loud, so I bought the Eheim, which is underpowered. The Gen-X is a stronger pump. I thought you were having the same issue as me because you also were running the Eheim. My skimmer is in about 9" of water by the way.
I, too, have owned an ER skimmer in the past - the one with the old-style drain (with the foam). That seemed easier to adjust. Do you agree?
