2 Weeks and still no skimmate | |
Azizza Mega Fish Posts: 1134 Kudos: 713 Votes: 0 Registered: 09-Mar-2003 | I have had my AquaC Remora running for 2 weeks now and so far all I have are a lot of bubbles coming into the tank. I know they have a break in period but this seems a bit strange not to be getting any Skimmate at all. |

After about 3 days the bubbles went away, and it started to foam a little better. It's still pretty wet, but it's taking out a pretty nasty brown liquid along with some foam. If I adjusted it some more I'm sure wetness wouldn't be a problem. If your really concerned with the skimmer, give the guys at AquaC a call, I hear they are excellent to work with and very helpful. |

Mine pulled out a half a cup of brown water the first night but I think my water was much more polluted than yours.I have to empty the cup once a week now with a very dark liquid. |
