Another 9010 question

underpar · 05/23/2007, 12:01 PM

Hi Roger,

I have a 9010 skimmer in the sump of a newly set up system. Cured live rock and new sand have been in for two days. I get no foam or even air bubbles from the skimmer. Water flows through very nicely, but no matter how I adjust the air screw, nothing happens. Can you help?

Thanks, Fred

I would suspect the venturi nozzle is seperated from the pump housing or the airline is not connected. Take the pump out and check this.

Thanks, Roger! The pump and the venturi were not connected.
