Skimmer help

[noelskii]

my aqua c remora stopped skimming...does anybody know why? i still see water going into it but barely any comin out...

What goes in must come out. Check to see if anything is clogged in the spray injector.

i cleaned everything...and its still not putting out water faster than before...

Did you take the pump apart? If the pump is pumping the correct amount of water than something is restricting the flow. There are very few places that water flow in an Aqua C remora. Follow the flow starting with the pump and check for blockages or malfunctions.

problem solved. the tubing was just a little loose and the spray bar was kinda dirty...thanksss

Do you have problems with microbubbles in the display from the Remora?

 

[noelskii]

nah no micro bubbles...maybe one of the panels inside ur skimmer cracked and the micro bubbles escaped from there...

I inspected it with a light today thinking that was the problem, but the bubbles are going right under the last bottom baffle up & out of the return area.

maybe its just breaking in? how long have you had it for?

It's been running on my tank for almost two weeks but I bought it used, the inside is full of feather duster tubes? Funny thing is, I took it off yesterday, then decided to put it back on last night, this morning, no bubbles! Let's see how long that lasts.

Maybe it was something like the glue from some of the frags I added, or I think at least 1 of them has epoxy. Also, my arm constantly in the tank.
