idk if you got the skimmer tuned in already, but to answer the question you asked before, set the water level with the intakes, then fine tune the level of the bubbles with the air intake. it looks liek you already figured that out though in the pictures, but it'll need more adjusting as it breaks in.
looks like you did an awesome job with the plumbing. did you get any leaks when you filled it all with water?

knock on wood, but no leaks. this entire plumbing was done a month ago and was all tested for any leak for 2 weeks before attemping to add sand and rocks. skimmer is doing fine but i will fine tuned in couple days. just need to build more slime into the plumbing for everything to move better. thanks

water clearing up real good and reactor is kicking in too. i have it dial in about 700gph just tumbling around the media and trying not to stir it up. i had to shut down my skimmer since there was nothing left to skim.
except the water.. also did some cleaning today and all i can say is the magnavore 10 is truly amazing piece. will be finishing up on the chiller this week, but i might just take a break for few days or not :eek1:
