Skimmer

So I got a Bubble Magus BM220-CS for 20 bucks on craigslist, don't know much about it? I have a 95 gallon tank, will it work for it?

Should be more than enough for what you need. That skimmer is rated at 1200+ liters, which is 300+ gallons. That's also a steal of a deal, hope it works out!

Great thank you, just hooked it up and it is running fine, how high should the water be?

Depending on how much it was used previously it may need a small break in period in your tank. If so, just adjust to try to keep the foam from overflowing out of the cup. If it seems to be running normal, usually half way up the neck of the cup is where you should try to dial it in.

Ya I can't find much information on it? The top lid has a crack and wanted to order a new one.

Thanks got it from a buy selling stuff out of a public storage place. He had no idea what it was worth, just didn't know if there was a problem with having a skimmer rated for over 3 times your tanks volume. Thank you for all the info.
