Interesting thread. I have the Curve 9 running well on my new system. Which is 6 weeks old. I run it on the max setting and get a good amount of Skim. What is the best setting ?
Thanks
 
Nac 3,5 disintigrated

I bought a Nac 3,5 when I started my tank and about two weeks ago I saw small cracks appear in the collection cup.Two days latter the cup was completely covered with small cracks and it shattered.Yesterday I saw the same type of cracks appear in the body of the skimmer.Anybody else have encountered this proplem?

Never heard of that happening before. Are you running ozone through the skimmer?
 
I got the curve 5 today , my water level in my sump is at 430mm . I raised the skimmer about a 100mm. The water level is about 90mm below the skimmer cup . Do i need to raise it any more ?
 
I have a curve 5 upgraded from ts1. Problem I an having is it is nog pulling close to the same skimate as the ts1. My skimate is light green and only skims about 1 cm skimate in a week. Bought it about 2 or 3 months ago. Break in was about 2 weeks. Antone have any help or advide. Skimmer in about 26 cm of water set at about middle 2 and 3. If I set it lower then most skimate gets stuck in the neck.nice thick gunk and smelly. I dont know what wks to do.
