Tried to clean them out and still the same issue. Will try a spare pump tonight.

OK. So the 2 small air lines coming of the top are anti siphon hoses. Is this correct? I will see if they are clogged. I was wondering what they were for. The plumbing should be fine, as I only took the return hoses of the top of the wet/dry and put them in the sump area. thanks

It's the water level. External skimmer. Seems like a head pressure problem. Would cleaning the magnet on the impeller shaft with some sand paper help? after I noticed the problem I ran the pump in hot water for about 10 mins and clean it up and it seemed fine. But once I hooked it up the problem...

The water in the chamber. It fills than flushes out then fills again. Can it be the head pressure on the pump?

After a month and a half of slowly removing the bio balls from my Wet/Dry, I was finally able to turn it into a sump. Here is the the problem: When I hooked my protien skimmer back up, it is surging.Fills up then empties a little and fills back up and empties a little and on and on and on...

Acting fine. Eating breathing and swimming normal!!

No Quarintine tank. But you can bet that's the next thing.

It looks like cotton on the Rock Beauty and almost like blisters on the Mandarin. I fed garlic soaked Cyclopese and Brine shrimp last nite and tonight. I also found out that my UV sterilizer wasn't working. I fixed that last nite and it does not seem to be getting any worse. Any Ideas?

It appears that I have a case of Ick in my tank. My newly aquired rock beauty and my 2 year old mandarin seem to be getting a white fuzz on them(my clown is fine). How can I rid this without hurting my Gonipora? TIA, Oz

Thanks alot. The venturi is MIA ( bought the skimmer used). Thanks again for all the help.

It s a red sea. The original pump had a hose that injected air into the pump. Do I not need to do this? Do I just hook the rio up? Thanks alot.

I bought a RIo 2500 to replace the pump on my berlin skimmer. I put the venturi adapter with the hose on the out put , but water blows out of the venturi hose. Do i have it hooked up right? How do I get it to suck air instead of blow water? Help Please..

Thank You !! Need to quiet this tank down
