Bubble magus curve 5 help

[DiverGirl82]

I took my skimmer out today to clean it and now it's not bubbling like it should. I hosed it off then ran it in a bucket with a water vinegar mixture then hosed it off again. When I plugged it in its filling up with water and bubbling a little but it's not getting that vortech action and it's not foaming at all. I took the airline off to make sure it wasn't clogged and even blew into just in case. Any ideas?

Is the piece on the pump that connects the airline possible clogged? You may want to try connecting the airline and then submerging the intake end in a cup of RO water to try flushing any possible blockages out.

I'm not sure what the problem was but it's working now. I turned it off and picked it up and let all the water drain out. Then I tried pulling the airhose off at the intake but I couldn't get it. I gave it a few yanks, a frustrated shake, plopped it back in and plugged it in. Apparently something in all that did the trick. I guess it just needed to be shown who's boss. :)
