Try running it for a few days without the collection cup on and just let overflow these speeds up the break in time and works for me.]]> Wed, 04 Mar 2015 13:13:00 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75138&PID=586047&title=skimmer-keep-over-filling#586047 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75138&PID=586046&title=skimmer-keep-over-filling#586046 Author: relethg

I also have the curve 5. I had read about people with this same issue before I bouhgt it. I also came across a few people that ran theirs in a bucket of vinegar and water to speed break in. That is what I did and it has worked great from day one. This skimmer is very sensitive to water conditions, so please heed the advice about the sock and new tank. I would rince a new sock well before use. I run mine in 8" of water.]]> Wed, 04 Mar 2015 12:42:46 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75138&PID=586046&title=skimmer-keep-over-filling#586046 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75138&PID=586043&title=skimmer-keep-over-filling#586043 Author: twolow4law1

Do you know for sure that no no one used anything other than bleach to clean the filter socks you are using? I recognize that skimmers can foam for hours sometimes but for several days seems problematic. Hopefully it is only your water level. What's with the advice to not use your skimmer for days when we have a couple of so called experts here trying to sell their new and improved method of stocking and setting up a stocked reef tank in a day. Gosh this mixedd advice must be confusing to some people.]]> Wed, 04 Mar 2015 11:10:14 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75138&PID=586030&title=skimmer-keep-over-filling#586030 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75138&PID=586027&title=skimmer-keep-over-filling#586027 Author: twolow4law1
