Bubble Mag 3.5 problem
So I've had this bubble mag skimmer in my sump and I cleaned it on Monday.... Got it going back to normal, fed PE mysis which always kills my foam head and it never came back. Fairly typical when I feed this or something with a heavy selcon coat I have to clean my skimmer to get it going again but it always comes back. And here it is saturday and I still can't figure out what I need to do to get it going. It will basicly look like im boiling water and if I make any adjustment to the pipe one way it never creates a foam head and the other way it just floods the skimmer cup. Any ideas?

have you checked the air intake? If you haven't cleaned it in awhile, the air tube can become calcified where it meets the pump.

I cleaned it a second time and the intake was clear as was the Venturi and set it to the old "usual setting" of 3 and this morning it's back in action. No clue what finally did it but alls well that ends well I suppose.
