I recently upgraded to a 9011 skimmer (love it), but I'm having a challenge figuring out how to connect it to my CO2 scrubber. The CO2 scrubber is just a canister that sits outside of my cabinet, connected by a section of flexible air line. On prior skimmers, I simply connected it to the air intake port.
I connected the intake tubing to what I *believe* is the air port (large port just right of the adjustment screw), but it seems to draw very little (if any) air. I also covered the ozone port thinking this might be an air source to no avail. It sounds as if it's drawing air from within the skimmer itself, instead of from the air port. It's running in a sump at 9.5" of water (constant compliments of an Osmocontroller) without the extension kit. I've tried all the air setting combinations I could think of.
The skimmer performing very well otherwise, I just need to find a way to get it to draw air from outside the cabinet. Am I missing something? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks much!
