Question 1

Hi I assembled my Hydor nano slim seems to be making too much of noise and doesnt skim at all not sure whats wrong

Accepted Answer

My unit is all but silent. Setting it is just a case of moving the collection cup up and down a few millimetres until it's perfect. Setting the air mix is pretty simple, lefty loosey, righty tighty. Loosen the valve for more bigger bubbles, tighten to close the valve and reduce bubble size. Try to set the grill at the front at water level. It's very sensitive to changes in depth so find a place that has constant water level and is not affected by changes in water level due to evaporation etc. The thing will produce foam in about 3 minutes from start up and be skimming right away. There really is no break in period so it's all about tweaking it to get it perfect for your tank. Keep it clean too, I take it apart and give it a thorough clean every couple of weeks as it works more efficiently that way. I really have no idea why you have noise. My unit is silent, the sound of an open can of fizzy pop is about as loud as it gets. Check that there aren't any obstructions in the pump. It comes apart so take the rotor out and have a quick clean. Put it all back and if it persists then seek help from Hydro or ask for a replacement from Amazon. Try not to wedge the thing hard against surfaces as that can transfer to surfaces and make the surfaces resonate like a sound board in a guitar. Ugly have the magnetic suction cups holding it in position. When you have it right, it should produce a cup a day of skimmate. From tea coloured to dark smelly stuff. It depends on the load that day so once you have it just so, don't mess unless you aren't getting anything in the cup or just water. Either is an indication you need to raise or lower the cup and/or tweak the air mix etc.I hope this helps. Goodluck.
