Hi there, Didn't get any responses on the filtration board so thought I'd post here as well. I have a Coralife Super Skimmer, the one rated for up to 65 gallons, hanging on the back of my 46 bow. I've had it about 8 months now and when it works, it works great. However, the thing constantly stops producing bubbles, then starts up again. If I take it apart and clean it, it will instantly produce bubbles. After a few days though, it stops skimming. If I shake it and mess around with it for a minute, a lot of times it will start again. Has anyone experienced this? Someone has to have this skimmer as well. Maybe I have installed it incorrectly. Thanks, ------------- Brandon Smith Sandy, UT |

The pump probably just needs a good vinegar soak. Take out all
the moving parts and soak them in vinegar overnight. You may want
to soak all the passages for the air tubing also. Fax ------------- Fax 318-3632 90g 2x250W 14kK MH Sump, Fuge, G3, UV, O3, ACIII Pleasant Grove, UT Across State Street from the Purple Turtle Adjustments and Massages for Frags! |

White vinegar is what I use.
