Currently the gate valve is under the water completely by less then half inch. I've read it shouldn't be fully underwater. Why is this? It seems to be skimming just fine. (brand new tank, brand new skimmer.. been skimming for only a few days)
I was a late comer to this, LOL. As the days came closer to end game I decided maybe a generator was a good thing. Couldn't find one, so I looked for a power inverter. All I could find was a 150w one for $85 :( . I bought it just in case to run my heater. I have vortech battery backup to run my...
