I have the Reef Octopus nwb 110. I seem to be having an issue with the pump. It is the standard pump that comes with the skimmer. It seems to work properly until I attach the little intake adapter which connects the air tube. As soon as I screw that adapter on the flow slows way way down. It slows even before I connect the air hose. I took the thing apart and gave it a vinegar bath to no avail. It was working properly until several weeks ago when I shut it off for prazipro treatment, then worked fine for several days after (though I had it tuned low due to the prazipro), then the flow just died down.
Anyone know if there is a fix to this? Do those little adapters die? Replacing the adapter would be cheaper than replacing the pump, but there doesn't seem to be a visible problem with the adapter.
