Sca skimmer
Hi all,
I recently bought Another sca 301 for my 75 gallon reef tank. The problem is that the pump doesn’t fit snug like it’s suppose to. It falls off once i pick it. I have owned other skimmers before and have never encounter this problem before. So, what do I do? Any advise to get the pump snug with the skimmer housing? Who else have had this problem with any other skimmer. Thank you, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This skimmer does this. There are several mods to make it better. Overall for the cost it's pretty good.

Try some Teflon tape or an O ring

That’s how this skimmer is designed and it doesn’t really hurt its performance. It actually makes routine maintenance of the pump quite easy.
