I'm a newbie, so maybe this is an obvious question and I think I may know the answer but please feel free to chime in...
I have a skimmer that is in my sump and is very simple. It's a pipe with seperate cup on top to hold/contain the waste and there is an inlet for an air tube (which I have connected to a Whisper 10 air pump), which is connected to a 2" piece of Limewood for bubbles. Two days ago it was working fine and was foaming to and over the top and in the last few days it has lost its gusto and won't foam/exceed the top of the inlet inside of the cup, thus bubbles are just blowing 90% of the way to the top and it's not doing anything.
Help! Why would there suddenly be a decrease in power? All of a sudden the bubbles and strengh isn't the same as it was two days ago?
