Default Prizm Del.. Skimmer probs

Hi all,
First id like to say, wow what a great site!!! Second I have a 60 gal mixed tank.. I just added a Prizm del. protein skimmer to my tank,which I might add is about 3 months along now. I have had this thing going for about eight hours now and still cant adjust it right. Furthermore i am getting a bunch of tiny bubbles recirculated thru the tank(which makes the water look cloudy). I have adjusted the amount of water it pulls about 30 times now and its either too little doesnt ever get to the top of skimmer or too much pours water in the catch tray.Is there a secret here? I am on a tight budget and really cant afford another skimmer that costs more than what I payed.. Thanks for your help in advance!!
Ronny

Default Re: Prizm Del.. Skimmer probs

Most skimmers need a few days of breal in time before the microbubbles, etc start working themselves out. Give it a few days & then adjust it again.
Hate to say this but the Prizm is not the best of skimmers.
