Could Teflon Tape Prevent Skimming

WhiskyTango · Feb 1, 2018

Two weeks ago I replaced a broken needle wheel shaft on my skimmer. While I had the skimmer taken apart, I put Teflon tape on the venturis’s threads to prevent micro bubble escape.

So now, loads of bubbles but no skimmate. Could the tape be releasing compounds that are preventing foam production??

I've not ever noticed Teflon tape to affect the skimmer. Remove it and see.

Just grow it: Have you ever added CO2 to your reef tank?

I currently use a CO2 with my reef tank.

I don’t currently use CO2 with my reef tank, but I have in the past.

I have never used CO2 with my reef tank, but I plan to in the future.

I have never used CO2 with my reef tank and have no plans to in the future.
