Reef Sanctuary - View Single Post - New AquaC EV-180 not skimming after 5 days

Ideas:
Try taking the top of the skimmer cup off this evening.
Dont feed the tank
Wipe the inside of the riser pipe with warm water
Check in pump inlet for obstructions
Open mag and clean/check impeller(new or used mag 7?)
Run some carbon (cant explain it but it worked for me when I was runing a remora w/1200) Perhaps removal of oils?

Did you wash down the entire skimmer with warm water before hooking it up?
