People with MRC skimmers

[ScottK]

I've have my MRC skimmer (an MR-2) for a few months and it has been working fine. I just completed a change over from it being in-sump to plumbed. I was giving the setup a run through in the bathtub to check for leaks, and when I tested the skimmer by turning on the air intake, it didn't work right. Just big bubbles came out into the reaction chamber, no foam, and the injector didn't make the hum is normally does (at least mine did when it was working right). Has anybody had this problem? I'll email andy tomorrow, but I wanted to check to see if anyone had this happen before.

I'm an idiot. I took the injector apart, and there was a little piece of plastic or something jammed in it. It's working now.

It happens to the best of us. I bought materials for my canopy and forgot the screws and clamps. I felt like a genius myself...heh..
