[peckhead]

alright so i have a proclear 75 on one of my tanks...it has been sitting outside for a month or 2 before i started it up again. i got a new pump(rio800) and hooked it up and now im not getting any turbine or bubbles what so ever.. any ideas?

Just throwin 1 out here but do you know there are different rio800's.

actually, is there a a different pump needed for a venturi skimmer? i did some searching and for a "rio800 rvt"(rejuvenating venturi) and a rio 800 look the same, but are they different? should i have got one that says rvt? it doesnt look like it is any different at all???

I have a cpr bp2 skimmer. On it you have to have a rvt. If you had one in each hand looking at them they look completely different. rvt has 2 hoses. One is real short like a bypass or something.
