Nyos 160 Tuning

[Hallowhead]

Howdy,

Does anyone have a video / guide on properly tuning the quantum nyos skimmers; specifically the 160.. I have searched the internet high and low in search of the ultimate guide to tuning it. I have tried loads of things, but no matter what I do the skimmer always winds up going haywire. Part of me thinks that something in the skimmer itself is broken as the large adjustment cylinder no longer appears to do anything...

Maybe the water depth is too much or too little? What does everyone have good experiences with? I currently have it in the depth shown on the manual, but again maybe someone has had better luck.

I always just used the recommended depth in the manual. The large adjustment cylinder can be tricky.....it is easy to adjust if you look at it out of the water. It has to be spun all the way around until the opening faces the body of the skimmer (which lowers the volume in the skimmer body). From there, you can slowly adjust it to raise the water level.

To add to the above, mine took around a week of overflowing break in until I could tune it properly.

I have let it run for a year, it worked great for 6 months and now I can't tune it again...

I think I need to take it out of water and set the cylinder tube to the right direction and restart
