I have recently (2 months) purchased a Tunze9015 skimmer at MD for my 240 gallon reef tank. I installed it in the sump and it works great but.... As I live in Mexico City power failures happen from time to time and I noticed that the Skimmer won't start again after such an event. I have to get it out of the sump, reassemble it and with luck after a couple of times it starts running again. The same happens when I disconnect it for cleaning. I noticed a clacking noise after I reconnect it and it seems that the pump has problems working after such a restart. There is only a small waterflow after such a restart and the noise and after a little time waterflow stops completly.
I can't imagen that this is normal. What can I do so that the skimmer starts working right away after reconnecting it?
