People who dont know me take "goaway" wrong.
But I've finally gotten used to goaway! I'm no longer nervously second guessing whether to reply on your thread.

I don't know what's going on here(haven't read it all), but I'm here now...
Mostly shenanigans. And some fish stuff. I think he's posted 6 pictures of his tank so far.

Actual question. How do I make this less wet? Do I just turn it down or does messing with the water intake weir do something?

Th skimmate? I keep the air turned up and decrease the flow of water until the bubbles are just at the top of the throat.

What skimmer? Octo?

I turned down the motor and then lowered the water intake thingy until the bubbles were at the top. Maybe that will help.
It’s a maxspect gyre.

Hey. That’s like 5 more then @Miami Reef has in the last 6 months and he has a tank to be proud of :face-with-tears-of-joy:

I had the best skimmer but it doesn’t fit on this tank sadly. Why is it the best? You can take the whole cup off and put it back on without any unplugging unscrewing or anything. It’s so so so much better. Why is this not a thing for all skimmers?!

That’s how my Regal Octopus 250 INT is. I thought all skimmers worked like that.

I turn off the skimmer and lift off the cup. I can leave the skimmer running, but I’d rather just close it because I don’t like when the air silencer area gets wet.

I haven’t even figured out how to get this cup off and it’s definitely not in the instructions

If it’s anything like the 400 series, go to 2:11 in this video:
If it does come off like that then it doesn’t come easily. I’ve tried Pulli GN and twisting but it’s not coming.
