APF600 air tap noise

Hi ive just got a second hand AP60 skimmer, and i have to say its the mutts nuts, can see why everyone reccommends Deltec now!

Just a slight problem when i set air intake to 2oclock i get a hissing noise, is this normal or is there a way to make it a bit quieter?

I am trying to locate a user manual for my Deltec APH 525. I cannot locate my manual since I moved, and I am going to be reconnecting it to my aquarium. Any assistance, or link to a manual would be appreciated.

Cobwebs on live rock?

Good Morning Tony,

I’m not sure if you’re the correct person to ask but I can’t find an answer for this.

My tank is 320 litre and been set up for almost 5 months, all the levels, PH, Ammonia, Nitrates, Nitrites & salinity etc is spot on, which I check regularly.

However, recently I have been seeing a cobweb like substance covering the power heads, heater and live rocks; it’s been like this for a week now and doesn’t appear to be affecting the fish, the hermits or anything else.

I‘ve got in the tank:

30 kilos of live rock

5 chromis

1 tank bred clown fish

2 gobys

2 feather duster worms

15-20 hermit crabs

2 sand sifter star fish

3 emerald crabs

2 shrimp

2 turbo snails

I’ve got the brown algae which seems to be disappearing now and everything seems healthy enough and has done for a while. People on the internet forums say its sandworms, webs made from the turbo snails, vomit from the live rocks or vomit from the feather duster worms but I cannot find a definitive answer.

My only concern is that it will not harm the tanks cycle and everything in the tank, I suppose without a picture you wouldn’t know what it is but from your knowledge, have you heard of this cobweb like substance?

Best Regards

Andy

TC 2060 over foaming

Hi,

Every now and then my skimmer will over skim which causes the cup to become filled with water in a matter of hours and flow out the top of the skimmer cup then for no reason the skimmer will run perfect with no adjustment needed as if nothing has happend ?

It will happen for no reason and can last days or will last for a few hours

The skimmer will then return to normal skim without and adjustment.

If i restrict the air going in to the skimmer while the problem is happening it will control it.

Do you have any idea on what may be cause the problem
