Redsea 900dc skimmer

[Alex_hairymoney]

So bought a Redsea 900dc skimmer with the self adjusting probes, I installed it water is on the correct height I saw a video on brs to crank it to 100% and let the probes do the adjusting, I did calibrate the probes both of them but it keeps over flowing it will lower it’s power when the cup is full of water, but it won’t adjust. I had to lower it to 30% anyone have this skimmer that can help

I have the 600. I had to adjust the physical regulator and wetness threshold in the app. I think they have a setup video on their site that talks through it.

Support video. It should be this one.

I have it on 30% and the physical knob turned down all the way and it still over filling

I do have a separate power head in that same chamber where the protein skimmer is

If it is brand new it is possible it is just breaking in. I think there is a paragraph in the manual that talks about it.

Probably just needs to break in. I have a 600 and it took a bit to settle down.

Yeah but with the probes it’s supposed to slow down the pump speed and not over fill mines is overfilling @ 20%

Page 15 of the manual has a paragraph on new skimmers. It says self leveling may not be effective during the break in period.

Did you turn the control knob all the way down then barely crack it open? I had mine barely open for the first two weeks then once it settled as able to open it a bit more to get a more consistent skim

I have it on 20% and the knob all the way down and still overflowing but I did throw in some dr Tim’s first defense which explains the reason why it’s over skimming like that, now I wonder how long until the first defense dies out
