Super Skimmer

[yote]

I have yet to clean anything but where the airline attaches to the pump.
No problems what so ever since day 1.

already been stopped bud. gunna have to do that. but hell its been stopped before. no air bubble probs

[fishbait]

clean here and it will work again. if you dose alk buffer or calcium a lot it can stop up with carbonate deposites and it may take a little more than a toothpick to clean it out. I had to use a drillbit to knock the crap out of mine a few days ago.

Fishbait, you rock!! That bad boy was CLOGGED. My skimmer is working better than ever. Thanks man.

BTW, all I needed to use was a needle.

[fishbait]

you bet. anytime

I have a CSS 125 and had the same problems everyone else probably has or had. Floods and clogged air intake, which I think are related. Less air means more room for water and the water rises out of the neck. I got tired of it. I bought a GenX 2400 needlewheel pump to replace the junky no name pump the skimmer came with. Problems are gone away and I think it performs much better now.

good idea. I may just do that. this is the second pump I've had. other one burned up.

[fishbait]

mine still has the rio pump that it came with a year ago, with no problem. did ya'lls come with some chinese pump or something?

[hibye]

this is off topic but hey fishbait did u get yr signature from reefscavengers motto.(detritus happens, we got ya covered)

so i got my issue figured out. dont know how it would have been different than before but maybe my pump was hung up on something in my overflow before. because i wasnt getting enough air due to my pump being too far under water. cut about an inch and a half of my tube that goes to the pump down to raise it and it looks like its runnin like a champ now.
