Did a search and could not come up with much - perhaps user error.
I picked up a tank from a guy who was going bigger. He through in the sump and skimmer. The skimmer was a coral life 125 (I think) the larger one. Since my ASM GX4 will not fit under the stand or in the smaller sump, I was going to use it at least for a while even though I had heard it was a POS.
This thing spits out bubbles through the exit tube like they are going out of style but there is absolutely nothing in the chamber of the skimmer. I cleaned out the tube, venturi, blew through the silencer, etc., no clogs. Pump appears to be moving the appropriate amount of water. I can dial up the water to mid way in the collection cup, no bubbles. I can gently blow into the air line and create bubbles within the chamber, which makes me think the pump is too weak or something. Anyone know what to do to get this thing going?
Additionally, the LFS is pushing the Reef Octopus - I have not had a tank up for a couple years, not so familiar with it but I do trust the LFS guy.
