I just purchased a Seaclone skimmer and was wondering how to adjust the airvalve? How much bubbles or air do I want to let in? Also how long did yours take to break in? any info would be great.
I have SC150 and I usually tighten the air valve all the way down, then open it between 1 and 2 full twist. Take your collection cup off while you adjust, and set it to where the bubbles are just about to come out.
In the cylindar you dont want a tornado effect, you want it to be real bubbly looking.
When it is skimming right, there will be alot of dark gunk in the collection cup.
Do you have LR? It took about 2 days for mine to break in. Sometimes after a water change it takes a couple of days to really start collecting good again.
No, I have a 75g tank, and I have a seaclone150. The smaller one is a 100. For the size tank you have, you need at least a 150, in which you probably do have.
In my experience the best way to adjust the Seaclone ... was to crush it by throwing cinder blocks at it ... and replace it with an AquaC Remora ... not that I'm bitter or anyhing!
