I tried to start up my skimmer today and no matter how I adjust the gate valve, even if it's all the way open it continues to fill the cup with water and clean bubbles. I have been doing some internet searching and found some suggestions on raising the skimmer so that it is in shallower water. Could this be my problem? The water line is in between the min/max lines on the side of the skimmer but when I hold it up higher it seems to stop overflowing. Why would this be?
The skimmer is a CoralVue Reef Octopus 4. Link here: http://www.marinedepot.com/Reef_Oct...ariums_Reefs-Reef_Octopus-CV5111-FIPS-vi.html
