View Full Version : Skimmer Gone Flat...

My skimmer has just up and stopped producing bubbles. It is a Coral Life Needle Wheel and has been running less than a year. I have cleaned it up and it seems to be working perfectly, just no ever so important bubbles... Any ideas? I can not seem to figure out what the issue is and would rather not re-invest if there is a simple solution I am some how missing... Thoughts?

The venturi is important on that particular skimmer.  Some people will secure some airline tubing into the strainer/intake, hook that up to an air pump, and force more air into the body of the skimmer that way.  This creates better foam, and isn't a difficult mod.

Genius! I happened to have a random air pump sitting around. Worked perfect and super simple. Good to see you back in these parts Melev. Thanks!
