Guys I'm struggling with my hob protein skimmer I don't know where to set my suction cups high or low which way is more effective thanks

I've never owned an HOB, but have to believe it's similar to all others.

I would start that with bubbles up to the neck. Let it run for a day or two and start to adjust accordingly. I like running fairly dry so I get a bunch of smutz in the neck, and typically clean after 3 or 4 days.

Give us the name of the Skimmer, and I'm sure theres someone on here who can give you exact details.

Set it so the foam is just below the cup and allow it to run a day or so. You should be getting foam into the cup. Lower for more skimming and wetter foam. Raise for dryer and less foam. You want a dark colored skimmate. Dark green or brown and smelly.
