|  New Odyssea PS75 Help?
I got one of these off of Ebay. I had a little trouble figuring out the airline and where it goes, but I stuck it right in the middle nipple of the intake. I placed this in my sump.
2 problems and a question:
1. How can I stop the little bubble from blowing into my tank? I did use the spongelike round thing on the end of the discharge, and it does fall a little below the waterline in the sump, is there another way to avoid this?
2. I have had to adjust this many many times already (the flow).. I am assuming I should watch for bubble to reach about the middle of the inner circle of the cup? or am I wrong? When should I see some real action?
Anyone else have this skimmer? |

Well.. I dont think they actually go for 99 cents, I think I paid 50 or 60 for mine. I have no problem dumping it... I was reading about the Urchin.. are they good? | |

Actually I like the looks of the EV-120 because I have the bulkhead on my sump to leave it outside of it... hmmmmm
Thoughts? | |
