I have searched and searched and searched for the answer. I have a coralife, although not sure the exact model it came with my 80g and worked fine. The pump is submerged around 3inches into the water, according to many threads this is where it needs to be, although ive tried over levels.. Ive tried every position the red knob will allow. Adjusting the red knob allows me to control the hieight of the water in the skimmer, yet produces no bubbles no matter where its set. If I unplugged the small hose from the output line which runs to the pump it makes a very loud sucking noise but the skimmer works perfectly! So the main problem is when its setup correctly it will not produce bubbles. Removing that small hose from the output and letting it suck in air makes bubbles. Im in desperate need of help fixing this, I'm going insane over it! I'm not technical inclined or very familiar with how skimmers operate but it seems to be it needs to be getting air to create the bubbles? This is something mine is not doing/, at all.
