I just moved my tank across the room so it could be viewed better. Everything went off without a hitch except the skimmer. It was sucking in huge air bubbles and there were gaps in the water going through the intake tube. I took it a part and cleaned it and put it back together. There are no more gaps but it's not producing foam like it was and it's spewing tiny bubbles in the tank.

Will this resolve itself or did I brake my skimmer? Before the move it was working fine, it's only a month old.

Please and thank you!!!
 
When you moved tank did you replace the water? If so it may be clean and skimmer has nothing to skim yet.
