Ok, so here is the situation, my skimmer on this tank has never worked well since day one. I have it dialed all the way open and keep my water levels up to par, and never has it pulled more than a cm of water into its cup in a week, and yeah ... water .. it was always clear.
So today .. I was doing some maintenance and decided to turn on my skimmer, I have had it off for a while, when i did, it overflowed .... something it has never done before, or even come close. Then I noticed my return pump was off, so I turned it on, immediately the skimmer bubbles dropped back down into the neck where they usually are when they don't do anything. I turned the return off and once again, skimmer overflows .. like it probably should considering I have it all the way open.
So, it seems that having the return pump running prevents my skimmer from functioning correctly. Would anyone have any clue as to why? and has anyone else had this problem with their 130D? Thanks in advance for any help!
