ctruchan Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 wondering if someone can assist...been running a sapphire skimmer for my 29g Bio Cube for just over a year now....after the first 6 mths, i pulled the skimmer out to give it a thorough cleaning, and installed it without a problem. recently pulled it out (after 1 yr) and gave it another good cleaning; however, after installation i'm having some issues. first off, it's producing tons of micro bubble, which i expected for the first 24-78 hrs; however, they have not stopped. second, which is most concerining, is that the collection cup continues to collect clean/ clear water overflowing it after a half hour of operation. my water level is right where i have always kept it in the past, so i'm not sure what to do....any suggestions would be much appreciated....ty Link to comment
frommzie Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 It sounds like the bubbles that are meant for the skimmer are escaping into the tank, and not staying in the skimmer and going over the baffle. I ran the sapphire skimmer for about 11 months, then replaced itfor a fuge in chamber 2. Here is what I would try: (1) ensure that the Rio 600 pump is seated correctly in the bottom hole of the skimmer (and no water / bubbles are escaping from that hole); (2) make sure that all of the hosings are fully secured on the pump; (3) unplug the pump and re-plugit back in. The rotation of the impeller could be reversed. That is about allI can offer. You are using the Rio 600, right? Link to comment
