Have just picked up a skimmer for my 20g tank. Never have used one before, but I am going to be setting up a larger tank with a sump soon and thought it may be a wise investment. It is a HOB/In Sump venturi drive skimmer. I was hoping to get some advice as to how to adjust it correctly. Currently I have the intake 1/4 closed so that the water level is approx. 1/2 way up the neck in the waste cup. The air tube from the powerhead is wide open. I realize that it does need a break in time, but I was wondering if where I have the water level is correct or too high.
Also, on a side note. I have picked up a 400w MH light and was wondering if this would be sufficient/overkill for a 30g xhigh, 24" deep.
Thank you in advance.
