I have a reef octopus nw-110 and i've had it for eight months now I just upgraded my tank from a 65 gallon to a 120 gallon two days ago since then the skimmer hasn't been running right. The microbubbles aren't really building up to make skimate and they're making out through the gate valve. I used all my old tank water plus I didn't change the sump or even move it since the 65g stand was built for an upgrade. Does anyone know what I should do I have tied cleaning the impeller and ran hot r/o threw the air intake just incase. I haven't been running a skimmer 2 days now the 120 has all my old livestock 2 clowns, a dragonette, coral beauty, starry blenny, blue dot jaw and a powder brown tang "the reason for the upgrade" should I be worried since I can't run the skimmer correctly right now
 
Sounds like you need more water flowing through it but if you haven't changed anything that wouldn't be the case. What about the water intake to the pump, is it clear? Can you tell if the needle wheel is spinning or not?
