Having to raise my skimmer beyond recommendation

[jmt1030]

Hey everyone,

I have a Bubble Magus Curve 7 that has been bubbling over like crazy for the last couple of weeks. Yesterday, I took it out and completely cleaned it and it was still bubbling over. I had it in 9.5" of water just like the manual calls for (it actually says 9.5" to 11.5") I raised it up even higher and now I finally have it where it's not completely bubbling over.

My question is, is this normal? The skimmer is now in about 6" of water.

Im running my curve 7 at about the same depth. Working great!

Not uncommon with any brand . I run my skimmers between 6-7 inches or they bubble over . No worries .

Is this a new tank that you have it in? Mine did this for a couple of days when I first set up my tank.

It looks like it's performing well.

I had the same problem and now is skimming really good.

Running a Curve 5 in 5" of water, works great

Can someone take a look and see if I have it dialed in correctly?

Seems like our curve 7 runs best with the water level about one inch higher than the white bubble plate
