I posted in my build thread but though I would provide some vendor feedback as well.
Not a happy update this morning. My nearly brand new NuvoSkim DC Protein Skimmer - Desktop broke overnight. Walked into the office this morning to silence instead of the small amount of white noise it puts off. The pump had been running since March 22nd, so barely a month.
It was pumping out skimmate like it was its job, well I guess its only capable of handing the bioload as a part time job. I emptied and cleaned the cup 2x per week but my pumps are on 3 month service cycles so I had not even though of cleaning the air pump.
I reached out to IM today for a warranty claim, or maintenance suggestion. Little depressed just because for the first month it has had phenomenal performance.
