What do you all do for Skimmer overspray???

[maginter]

O have an Octo 200 int that I can't seem to get balances install in a Trigger Sapphire 34 Sump. In the meantime I get a lot of spit out that gets on the door, sump and wall. What would anyone suggest to put around it, but still be able to see it. I have though of a 5 gallon bucket, but since you can't see through it, it defeats the purpose.

TIA,

Mark

I run ozone, so I place a big bag of carbon on the lid, it's always a bit damp, so maybe this would help you.

You will need to adjust for flow if you do this.

You will have to play with the adjustments. It sounds like the water level and air adjustment are out of balance. I use a Octo Regal 250-SSS. Though the videos below will not directly help you, if you watch it, it may help you understand the difference as it did me.

Not sure I understand the problem.. pics might help some. Maybe you could put a large plastic bag over it?
