which skimmer do you have? I too have a CPR skimmer I recently bought for myn 40 Breeder and it has been functioning pretty well thus far. When was the last time you've cleaned it out in some vinegar water or something similar?

There are aldo cheap mods that some have suggested on this board. For example you can add an airstone (wood block) to get more finer bubbles.
