I'm not really sure what's wrong either. I had been using it as a hang on to make room in my sump. The trouble was that it would run great week to week and then all of a sudden I would go to feed or check the collection cup and it would be overflowed. Now I've moved it into the sump to keep from having water damage in the bottem of my stand. When it works it work great. I've shortened the return pipe so the pump is closer to the surface of the water like the directions state to eleminate wet foam and everything. The flow knobs are at the min. setting as well. Just don't know. :notsure:

hum... as in sump u still have the same problem as hang on???? cuzz im thinging that when u had it as hang on.. the return from the skimmer was submerged under water like.. and that kinda gives the skimmer a back pressure.. so as your water evaporate and fluctuating... the back pressure changes and causes the water lvl in the skimmer to raise thurs leading to wet skimmate ,filling up the cup faster and overflowing... so if u have in the sump.. then im perdy shure you wont have problems ??..... just a thought.... if this isnt the answer then can u give more detail.. or even start a new trend and ill try to help u there.. as not to steal this trend..
