Protein skimmer Fluval evo

[adamlodge14]

Hi!
I have bought a Fluval sea mini protein skimmer for my Fluval evo 13.5,
What sort of level should the bubbles come up to and how long should I have it on during the day?

You can leave it on all day. Bubbles should typically be "boiling" at the base of the collection cup.

Ok, thanks!
Should it be emptied twice weekly?

Just whenever you can before it gets full.

I have one as well. You will know if the level is too high if its spewing straight water quickly. Aim for bubbles at the angled part of the collection cup.

I usually have to empty mine once every 1-2 days. I have 3 fish total.

Is it a good skimmer? I’ve got a 20 gallon peninsula AIO I was gonna put it in a back chamber
