**help!! Cpr Bak Pak, W/no Pump

[speedracered]

HEY wats up guys/

I purchased a CPR bak pak yesterday with nothing but the chamber and the collection cup. I have a maxijet 1200, which I connected on the CPR. Turned it on, and no skimmage. Im guessing I need some type of air tube connected onto the maxijet. But how do I do this?

can someone help me out? what do I need to puchase?


also do I need that CPR Bio Bale for my FWOLR tank with just a puffer?

I think its Marine Depot or Premium Aquatics that sells a "Venturi Kit" for the Maxijets.

Be careful with this skimmer. It has the tendency to become clogged rather easily. I had two overflow problems before I switched to a Prism Pro for my 60 gallon reef tank. If I were you, I'd return the skimmer and get something else.

I dont even know how you would clog a CPR backpack.

They've got 1.5" output plumbing, and a maxijet feeding them. What is going to get through a maxijet, and clog a 1.5" pipe?
