Skimmer question

[rookie55]

I believe it's a asm g3 skimmer that I found, person threw it out cause pump was putting current in tank,I had a mag 9 that I hooked up to it and wondering if that's to big for it or do I just need to modify the venturi to get more air flow? The entire skimmer is full of bubbles but isn't making any skimmate? Any ideas would greatly appreciated

It looks modified. I don't remember the asm ever being a venturing skimmer. Do you know what kind of venturi is on it?

It had a sedra pump that was shorting out and putting current in tank so I hooked up a mag 9 with a venturi on it that I had, have no idea kind of venturi it is, I've put a valve in between the pump and skimmer to turn down the pump,I had it skinning put shut it down to clean cup and won't skim, took everything apart and cleaned it to see if something was clogging something but still won't skim, trying to get video to upload but no luck so far

How old is your tank? How large is your tank? How many fish do you have? How often do you feed?

Also how long has the skimmer been running, and did you clean it before you started running it?
