Hey Guys,
I have a cylindrical protien skimmer hanging on the back of my tank. It has decided to stop workign it used to work great. I have checked the powerehead and the airater and they seem to be fine. The top part that you remove and clean does not collect anything any more, except for water. And just below where the removable part fits into the main housing is where all the "Guck" collects. I checked the O ring and everything seems to be seating properly but have no idea how to fix this. When I look inside the cylinder I still have the air flow up the center tube but there are alot of bubble everywhere as well.
Any help would be great

How long have you had the skimmer, have you kept your water level the same? I've noticed that if my water level changes the level of the bubbles changes and effects how my skimmer functions. Which skimmer is it?
