Hello CORALVUE,

I received my ICECAP K2-120 protein skimmer yesterday, assembled it, and have placed it into my sump. I have not filled my sump yet because I'm waiting for my return fitting to come in. Could you please clarify the initial tuning process for this skimmer? Do I leave the outlet wide open, start the skimmer, adjust it for fine bubbles, and then wait 24hours or 4 weeks?

Thanks in advance,

Brian

Yes, leave the skimmer wide open and let it break in for 3 weeks. After that, you can start to dial it. Here is a short read on how to properly dial a skimmer AFTER it has broken in...

Carlos,

Thanks for the quick and insightful response! This all makes perfect sense and I am stoked to get this skimmer up and going.

Best regards,
