Has anybody experimented with the external water level on their reeftek skimmers?
I have just built a platform to stand my skimmer on, raising it out of the water by about 7 or 8 cm's.
Here is a pic of the water level where it is now, in the last few days I am getting hardly any skimmate, maybe 3mm as opposed to about 20mm I used to get, so I am now thinking that there must be an optimum external water level for this skimmer to operate at it's optimum.
You can see where the water level used to be by the greenish/yellow tinge on the airline.
