protein skimmer problems

[blknght]

we have a prism protein skimmer and all of a sudden it started just burping out a lot of water and then refilling itself and doing it again the local fish guy said to clean it out cause it had calcium build up. we tried that and it is still doing it any one have any suggestions?

I would consider another skimmer. Prizms have problems every now and again. What size tank do you have?

we have a 35 gallon hex tank right now all we have are about 15 hermits a porcelain crab a orange linkia starfish and a blue hamlet
