The elbow that you have is for older models

I'm sure the combination of the two elbows restricts the return flow more than if the water just entered the tank straight as opposed to two 90 degree turns. If the elbows are needed to lower the return flow and prevent splashing then so be it. Otherwise, I'd try to keep the restrictions to a minimum and eliminate the elbows if possible. Besides, keeping the return higher and closer to the surface would help to eliminate the 'oil slick' syndrome he's experiencing.

All good suggestions from everyone. Hopefully something will work for you.

Without this elbow there no way to keep the surface clean in this elos

I feel your pain I had the same problem with the solana it drove me crazy. Where did you purchase the tank?

 

[prezzi]

direct from elos , it came from aquastudio in jersey

 

[CoralReefer]

You shouldn't have a problem getting it resolved then. If you spend that kind of money on a tank, I would assume they will do whatever possible to fix the issue.

just spoke to jesse from elos , that elbow you have is the old one

Like you I just bought my elos tank in elos aqua studio new york, I think you have to go to elos.

So who has the old model? prezzi or audiofile18?

 

[CoralReefer]

Yea I'm confused too. Looks like prezzi has the old one but he is saying audio file does. Is this correct or do I have it backwards.

Nvm I get it now prezzi has the new one. Why is this new elos not surface skimmer like it should?

 

[NYCEnglish]

Yeah, I'm confused too as to why Elos need that pipe.

I'm trying to help you I had the same problem in the past, this is from my old elos tank.
