    Bak-Pak tips

    So my collection cup filled in 3 hours with almost clear skim mate. Move the o-ring down on the cup(to raise the cup,) I believe is what I should do? Was following manufactures recommendations at 1/8 of an inch but that may be too much at this point?

    yes, but from a close friend. He didn't want it due to the noise. I dont think he made any mods but ill double check. Also, do you know if this whole lengthening of the air hose to reduce noise really works?

    Is that an aftermarket valve? Mine just seems to have a rubber piece that basically has two settings,if i take the cap off more air, or less air if i leave it on..doesn't seem to really adjust anything. I also have a ton of bubbles, would you recommend a bubble trap or should things settle down?

    I just picked up a bak pak 2 with a pre-skimmer from a buddy. Its my first skimmer so I'm kind of new to the whole wet/dry skimming. Anyone have some experience of the best way to tune this thing. I'm aware of moving the collection cup up and down to control it, but i'm nervous to go to sleep...
