coralife 220 w/genx2400 or sedra 5000 not working

I know that the skimmer is't the greatest thing in the world but it was geven to me. my problem is that I have it in a 15gallon High that I made into a Berlin style sump and the thing will not make bublbles small enough to skim and somtimes it doesn't make bubbles at all. I have all components I need for getting my 30 gallon up and running and now the thing won't work.


SOMEONE HELP!!!!!

Sounds like the problem is with the air intake assembly. Remove it, clean it, make sure it doesn't have anything blocking the air flow, and reconnect.

Best wishes

Sounds like the pump was replaced. The stock pump uses a needle wheel impellor and uses a venturi input. If your not using a needle wheel impellor I would expect your bubble production to be much worse.

FWIW here is a link to a supplier of replacement parts for CSS
