Hey guys n gals. So I got a used lifereef sump and skimmer (36" tall venturi) to get my system going again and it had been running just fine for a few months. Then the other day I noticed that the skimmer wasnt filling up with water and assumed it was a problem with the pump (brand new blueline 40). So I took the pump off the skimmer and hooked up a backup pump but am still having the same problem. The flow going into the skimmer is too weak to bring the water column up. Any ideas on what happened? Should I change the venturi? It's still making bubbles just not with enough pressure. Any help is greatly appreciated!
