I have the same exact skimmer on my 55 gal and I HATE it with a burning passion
. I takes like 3 months for it to fill up the cup and my tank has a pretty decent bioload. I was able to mod it and get it to run a little better, but over it is a piece of junk and you should get a better one whenever you have the chance. Don't expect much from the skimmer.

Well, X is right, running it wet is a lot better, but when it comes to seaclones it is way more likely to flood your house that way. I replaced my seaclone with a octopus bh 100 hob. It is about 100 times better and it is only about 100 bucks. Shop around, it is obvious which skimmers are good and which are bad, just google it.
