Vertek omega 150 , adjusting the bubble issues !

[pooliap]

Hi there , i just bought vertek skimmer omega 150 10 days ago , it seems kind a pain since the beginning of installing . i broke the ozone pipe outlet , because the pipe that come with it its not really flexible and hard to put it in , but the bigger issues is the skimmer keep over flowing and make way too much bubble and its impossible to adjust , water level are 7,5-8 inch all the time as recommended . and i did the 24 hour running it fully open on everything . does any ones have a same issues or know any trick that want to share ? btw its a new set up CAD light 150 gallon tank cycling about 1 month now

Reason why I got rid of mine
But it was overflowing for a long time the sweet spot I was like 5.5 inches

My omega is a beast it takes a longtime to dial in rite peak performance is at 6 3/4 to 7 inches , love it just dont love the fact that it reacts poorly to adding filtersocks, feeding, sticking hand in tank, return flow but its prob the best skimmer for its size
