Where is your water level? What pump/rate you using?

precisely, many skimmers cant fit in. most of the higher range skimmers hav big footprint.
i hav the schuran in mind. but currently trying 2 think of a place outside the cabinet 2 place my chiller. when tat happens, i will hav lots of space in my cabinet n i can go 4 a outsump skimmer.

there is this wavy line indicating water level... should we keep the water level there? or all the way up to the top just before the collection cup?

i had made many tunings on my 2013. i discovered tat maintaining the water level at the black connector gives me the best skimmate. some pushed it all the way juz below the cup.

me using a weipro 2012 with weipro 3000 ph. i had been trying to tune it. however i discover that if i keep it at the recommended level the foam will never reach the cup . now i keeping the water level at ard the plastic ring top of the ring whereby you hang the skimmer on. foam starts to flow into the cup, but i find it too watery but the skimmate is quite dark in color.
