anybody have any ideas? ive cleaned the venturi inake its making some skimmate just not that much bubbling inside the skimmer body some just not milky white like ive heard others say. is the pump not hat good? iveheard bad things about rio but i dont know for sure. ive had this for a few months but never reall got it to dry skim very well. the manual says make sure the pump is no more than 3-4 inches below the water. its like 2-3. dont have any other ideas

I got much better results after doing the fishing line mod. Or, go all out and do the mesh mod.
