Just purchased a new Deltec skimmer for my 120 gallon build this evening. I went with the 1455. Pretty excited, seems like a great efficient skimmer. Anyone have one ?

Any tips ?
Depending on your bioload it will probably take a few days to bed in. I dialled my vent out all the way. Fully anti-clockwise and when I turned it on it filled the cup instantly with clear water. I just took the lid off and let it overflow into the sump for a couple of day and periodically emptied the cup back into the sump. It was just clear water so now harm done. After a few days it settled down and I was able to put the lid back on and start skimming properly. It pulls out quite a bit of crud and seems to work well. The manual cleaning head will come in handy as it doesn't take the cup long to get filthy so you can't see into it.
