Problem with skimmer salt spray

[koniyakutz]

Hi guys,

I'm on the verge of pulling out my hair, I have a macro AS100 and its creating alot of salt spray! The floor/wall around the tank is always dirty and damp b'cos of the salt spray.... b'cos of that, my mum is making alot alot of noise ....

As I do not have a sump, my skimmer is mounted on my tank. I notice the salt spray is caused by the bubbles from the return pipe. There are alot of bubbles in the return pipe and its still there no matter how I tune the skimmer.

How can I reduce/stop salt spray from happening?

Thanks

hi

are you refering to the fact that the area near the collection cup is higher than what you've seen?

yes. is that a diy mod ?

if so, what is it for and how can i add to my skimmer ?

hi

its not a diy, its the newer version of the macro skimmer

i too had this extension when i bought as100 2 mths ago

i think this extension is for more reaction time with the bubbles and also got sth to do with the fact that the pump that is supplied with the skimmer has been changed to a rio pump with flow of 2000L/hr, as opposed to the older one which was 1200L/hr

i suppose the taller body prevents flooding of the cup...that's just my guess

hope this answers you...
