Hey guys

I'm having these odd issues with this tank since I set it up again,

If anyone could give me a hand figuring them out would be greatly appreciated

The water levels on the side window viewing are super low and won't hold water in that chamber & keeps blowing air bubbles into the main tank

The skimmer won't work hardly at all, I'm at a loss with this tank at the moment

Thanks

The water in those chambers have to be mostly full when the tank is off. That is where you will notice all the tank evaporation as well, so it will drop daily unless you are running a top off. When the tank is off, fill the tank and the chambers until they are FULL, then start up the tank. When the tank is off. The water level in the display goes down and fills the chambers. When you start it up, the water is displaced out of the rear chambers and into the main tank until the level raises and overflows in the overflow. No worries about the tank overflowing, it will keep up.

Also, that tank should have an adjustable overflow box in the DT portion. Start by lowering the overflow, then fill the tank to about 1cm from the bottom of the black rim around the tank. Raise the overflow for surface skimming. Turn the tank on, if the water level drops below the middle of the viewing window, add more. The middle of that viewing window is the minimum water, any lower and you will start to blow bubbles from the return pumps.
