I have had this skimmer in my refugium for some time now and can not get this thing to work properly. It has the ocean runner ph 2500 pump with the needle wheel. Not sure if the pump has to be close to the top of the water level or not. But to do this I would have to raise the skimmer up off the bottom, so the pump would be closer to the top of the water level. I can not put the collection cup onto the top tightly because it instantly fills up with water. I have put the 5 cm elongation between the cup and skimmer body, but this did not work. If anyone has one of these or knows any secrets to get this thing to work right, please help me!! Thanks.
