good beside the sump skimmer

[nitrofish]

im getting frustrated mwith my turboflotor multi. maybe its just the rio pump on it, and maybe I should get the ocean runner pump upgrade,but im getting so frustrated with it. it will skimm for a day then stop producing bubles. I have cleaned out the airway and its fine. the only way air will get sucked in is by blowing into the air line.

anyway, if the new pump dosent workout, what whould you suggest I get for a new skimmer?

hi Jeff

I had the same problem with the aquabee pump in me TF multi. I end up buying a new pump and the problem went away. You can try soaking the entire pump in vinegar. Theres a of plastic flapper that supose to move freely. Look down into the output of the pump you should see what I'm talking about. Or shake ityou will hear the flapper moving back and forth, if it doesnt move it will not produce bubbles.
