well it works and runs and everything but it dosent push out bubbles any more!!
when i first got it it was used and when i first hooked it up it skimmed like no ones business
when i started it i had a couple of black mollies in my fuge with it and it was pushing up alot of waste but it semmed soon as i took them out it like just stopped
but my skimmers i have on my 125 gallon are skimming like crazy and i havent put in any fish at all yet
is there any idea as to what might be making my skimmers not work or skim as good now???
they are super skimmer coral life skimmers
the one that stopped skimming is a 65 gl super skimmer on a 75 gallon tank but it has hekp by another 75 gallon cu-75 skimmer!!
is the bubbles in the 65 gallon super skimmer supose to feel up the intake chamber all the way???
cause my chamber only gets feeled half way up and not all the way and it seems like i remember the thing feeling all the way up when i first got it but i dont remember!!!
thanks anyway!!!

try this check the airline hose that connects inside the tank/fuge see if its clogged with salt, i have had that happen, or even unplug it take it off disassemble the top part with the waste is and run hot water through and shaking it around, may be some build up. hope that helps

hay that can be a postive thing, i also have two skimmers running on a 80 gallon but for some reason the seaclone is capturing all the waste and the more powerful coralife skimmer is just sitting their, so tomorrow im gonna remove it also and do a good rinsing
look at this way atleast the waste is getting removed one way or another
