Something got sucked up in the pump for my Octopus skimmer so I had to take it apart.

After putting it back together, the air flow is not adjusting. It uses the same amount of air no matter how I turn the red tube.

I'll guessing I put it back together wrong, but I'm not sure what I did. Note: I took the white cap off of the red tube for picture purposes only.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I found this video and it showed me what I did wrong.
