I really want to like the RSM Protein Skimmer. I’ve even tried talking nicely to it. I’d bring it flowers if I though it would help! I’ve tried all the suggestions on here as far as where to place the skimmer door, opening up the air valve, etc. But it seems to have a mind of it’s own. Saturday I got it dialed in just perfectly. Collection tube raised all the way up and a nice froth at the top. Sunday, same thing. I get up this morning and the froth is at the bottom of the tube – water level has not changed, air setting has not changed. What the heck! So, I pull the whole assembly out and inspect it. No air line blockage. I take it completely apart and clean it up. Put it back in and get the same results – froth is extremely low in the collection tube. So I lower the tube – now I have froth again at the top (with the tube lowered) and it is once again skimming. My fear is that the froth will all of a sudden start rising when I least expect it and start filling the collection cup with clean salt water.
So, if there is no blockage in the air line, and the water level has not changed, then what is making the froth lower in the collection tube than it was a day ago?
Thanks!
