The skimmer I have is a Sea Life skimmer that is good up to 75g. Recently it has stoped making bubles all together. I am still new to the hobby so I don't know whats wrong with it. I took out air hose a week ago and cleaned it. That helped but only lasted a few days and then it went back to making no bubles. What can I do to fix it? Everything else seems to be working ok on it. I haven't changed anything on the setup(I did buy a new pump but it was working fine for a couple of weeks).

If you need any other information or pictures just ask and I'll post them.

Where did you purchase it........can they help you? Re read the instructions you got with the skimmer. Your skiimer may just need a minor adjustment. Don't be afraid to experiment. Good luck!

I am not familiar will that skimmer but if its venturi injected make sure nothing is clogging up the venturi and that the new pump is pulling enough pressure through the line to suck in air.

Yup... pull in some RO water through it, and if it's not completely clogged, it will dissolve the salt that's clogging it a little bit.

Somthing sounds clogged up to me. You should 1.make sure your pump is pumping right... 2)as has been said here make sure your injector isnt clogged.

Good luck with it!

Ok I figured it out. Following wings8888 sugestion I figured out the problem. The air intake hose became clogged somehow. So I replaced it and now things are back to normal :)

Thanks again for all the help!
