    Protein Skimmer not working?

    Is it not reaching the collection cup possibly? I know on my old venturi skimmer you could slide the outlet pipe up and down to raise the water level in the skimmer itself. Maybe you just need to raise the level in the skimmer. I also used to submerge the suction hose in freshwater while it was...

    I hate PikStiks

    I agree...you forgot the best part.. The parts inside aren't made of stainless steel (I'm assuming) so when the water gets inside, it eventually rusts and they fall apart. I've had two of these do the same exact thing...

    What size durso standpipe?
