I have used a aqua c remora for a couple years now, in the beginning it ran like a champ, then it started to taper off. 8 mos ago I added another MJ1200 with the use of a tee, hoping to up the production. It worked for awhile then tapered off again.

I am pretty good about cleaning it out ( the injector) It produces nice bubbles but little skimmate. I clean the neck and the collection cup at least once a month. The nylon screw in the injector is set where there are about 3-5 threads before it is screwed all the way in.

Anyone with any tips or info would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance,

Fuzz

A vinegar bath might help. 10-20% vinegar in water and let the skimmer run in it for 24 hours.
