I have an aqua C remora (hang-on-back) skimmer. Ever since I did a water change 2 weeks ago it really hasn't produced much skimmate. Does anyone have any experience or idea with what's going on? Thanks!
hey, i have the remora pro.
let me be the first to stay this skimmer works great once broken
in. i have even extended the small hose a bit further so the pump can
sit lower in the sump.
anyway, i have a feeling you may have cleaned the cup and did a water
change and just need to give the skimmer a while to break back in.
i also think u have not used this product for very long?
at first i also thought things were not as good as they should be.
over time tho, i am now consistently cleaning the cup every few
days to a week. very dark gunk that is semi watery. i run it sorta
dry, meaning i haev the collection cup elevated a bit with the rubber
band.
hope this helps. be patient with it. it does work.
If you cleaned the throat and collection cup, the skimmer will have to break in again. I usually just empty my skimmer cup and then maybe once every other month or so clean the cup and throat.
