Bak Pak 2 BUBBLES GRRRR

[meowzer]

About a week ago my Bak Pak 2 started blowing micro bubbles......So much so It upset the fish, so I turned it off
Today.....I took the pump off....cleaned everything, put a new airline hose on....put it back on....same thing
so I have a brand new Accella Pump I bought and had not used yet (obviously) So I changed the pump....SAME THING
Is there something else I can do? I have already adjusted it....adjusted it...and adjusted it some more.......I can not run it like this....the fish hate it..and so do I
HELLPPPPPPP!!!!

I know...this is getting ridiculous

....The Aqua C on the 54G works great though (knocking on wood)
What is a good HOB for a 29G

HAHA....I have old seaclones too
I think I had less trouble out of them though

Mine sprung a leaked after I cleaned it.

OK...I decided to take the skimmer totally apart and soak it......SO...right now it is in a mixture of water/vinegar/bleach......I am going to leave it like that for a few days, or until I have time to clean it more.....after this..if it does not work I am shooting it with a 12 ga...LOL
BTW whoever designed these damn skimmers needs to be hung by their toenails.....WHO makes something that you can not get into to clean

 

[meowzer]

OK...I am now about to put it back together and try it again.....so we shall see

 

[meowzer]

NOPE...didn't work for me.....I'm just gonna sell the darn thing
I now have the aquaticlife 115 mini internal skimmer in the 29G (I bought it for the cube) Right now it is blowing micor bubbles galore

I'm gonna let it run overnight and see how it does
otherwise IDK what I am gonna do

How long are you running it for? Maybe it needs a new break in period???

if you are asking about the Bak Pak....I only ran it for a few minutes.....It was doing the exact same thing as it did B4 I cleaned it.....
Right now the aquatic life skimmer is still spewing bubbles I am gonna let it run overnight....It has a water flow adjuster, but I do not know how to adjust air flow.....it does not say on the cd that came with it....or anywhere else....I'm hoping Henry knows since he has one
anyway I'm selling the bakpak LOL.....
