So I have a SS 125 for my tank that has been running fine, and now all of a sudden I can't keep air going through the venturi line. I have cleaned it out (even the whole pump), changed air tubing, and bored out the venturi hole just a tiny bit and nothing works. Once I blow into the line whoa are micro bubbles everwhere, but after I stop, nothing. I had to hook up an old Wisper air pump just to keep the thing working. The intake pump itself is only 2"-3" below my water line so I know that's not the issue. Honestly I think it's just a crappy pump. So I am thinking about replacing the pump with something better. Right now I am thinking about getting a Ocean Runner PH2500 designed for their 1000 multi skimmer, or a Sedra 9000. Anyone have thoughts on this or ever change out pumps on their skimmer? I am at a loss right now as to what to do....I will probably be dumping it and get an Octopus or a Euroreef, but right now the funds only allow for a different pump. Let me know your thoughts.
