Help on 9015 - Please

[bolza171]

Folks,

My 9015 stopped skimming this week w/o any reason.

The foam stays at the bottom of the cup and doesn't raise on it.

I have cleaned it 2x a week since always w/o any problem. Today I also cleaned the impeller to look for any possible problem but it just seem right.

Everything seems to be fine, however the skimming is not happening.

Water level is 1/2" below the blue line level and Air entrance is 2 1/2 turns open. I've tried opening it and closing it a bit for testing today but no progress.

I notice this change about 2 days ago when the cup was half full. I cleaned it and since then nothing has came out.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

Is water coming out of the pipe? You can open the screw much more- 4-5 turns.

Did you add anything with a lot of oil or fat or a vitamin or stress coat for the fish?

Roger,

Yes, water is coming out of the pipes and back.

I added few new Coral frags. 5 small ones. about 1" in size each, Thursday night. Would that be the reason?

How can I solve it? Or I just have to wait and it'll break itself back? I couldn't wait anymore and did another deep cleaning on the unit with hot water.

Everything seems to be running ok, however no skimming.

Regards

Make sure the nipple that goes into the venturi on the pump is fully inserted, I bet it is not pushed in completely and open the screw more.
