Really? because i usually take it off and clean it out and do a little waterchange but yesterrday i did a big water change.
Does it take yours a couple days to bubble after you do a waterchange?? Or just taking it off and empty/cleaning it????

if it's not bubbling at all, even in the reaction chamber, there's a problem with the skimmer. either no air is getting in or maybe the impellar or shaft is broken. double check these things.

After small water change (10%) it will start skimming again in a few hours. Havnt needed to a do a larger change to help ya out.
