Skimmer Problem

[Wierzbinski]

Hi Everyone

My reef tank is a little over a year old and everything is going fine. Recently, however my skimmer doesn't seem to be working.

The pump is fine and I am getting a lot of bubbling in the chamber, but nothing seems to be reaching the cup.

I haven't changed anything in the tank to affect it except for adding a calcium reactor about six weeks ago. The problem started a few days ago.

My tank levels are all fine and the chemistry levels are all within parameters.

Any suggestions.

What kind of skimmer, where is it located, last time it was cleaned, and any other information about it would be helpful.

The skimmer is a custom cylinder and reo 600 pump.

It sits in one of the chambers behind the tank.

I cleaned it two days ago.
