I am talking abou the nipple that the airline attatches to! That becomes clogged with salt always and should be cleaned out at a regular basis! I like to get a drill bit the hole size and thraed it though. When you pull it out it threads on the bit are CAKED FULL of white salt and mineral deposits! This cuts the air intake down dramatically and increased water throughput.
Skimmers need to be paid very close attention to. It's right up there at the top for keeping water quality where it needs to be!
Get us some pics man! Of that thing in action! The reason I ask is it may just have been built with a POOR water/air intake percentage! IF that the case it may take some modding.
However, I have seen some really gunky skimmate pics from your skimmer!
Thanks
