Do you guys/gals that own remoras use the air intake tube on the MJ1200 or not?

Just curious what effect it would have on skimming... You could attach it if you wanted.

Nope, my skimmer just skims really wet and I have to keep the collection cup way up or I could easily skim a gallon a day of green water. Since there is no adjustment other than collection cup height I was wondering if more bubbles injected would enable me to get a dryer skimmate.

If you aerate the water ahead of the Remora's injection nozzle it probably won't work as well, which will probably result in fewer bubbles in the reaction chamber. Try taking the skimmer apart and giving it a good cleaning, and maybe add the prefilter box if you don't already have it.

Yeah I've got both as well. Just curious as to how this would affect the skimmer - sounds like everyone would agree that its a bad idea. I believe AquaC recommends not using it either.
