Super Skimmer Trouble!

I've had my 120G running for about 6 weeks; it has a 40G sump below. I have the Super Skimmer 220 that has been running perfectly. Today I noticed the discharge level in the cup didn't change at all from early morning to almost midnight, so I nudged the red dial. Nothing happened. I cleaned the cup to see the bubble level and plugged it in again. The bubbles didn't get high enough to even reach the cup's neck. After about 5 seconds the bubbles disappeared. I can see the cyclone going in the main chamber. I unplugged and took a quick look at the intake, pump, cup, etc., and nothing seems wrong. Of course, I can't find the manual, so does anyone have any advice? I've got some really great stuff that I hate to lose. :o Many thanks.

not real sure to be honest but did you check the air valve? Could have have been clogged with something not causing enough air to make it to the needle wheel?
