Reef Octopus Skimmer Leaking!

Please see attached video. Micro bubbles are leaking extensively from the pump connection at the base of the skimmer. Any thoughts???? Have already tried tightening the pump connection At the base and doesn’t make a difference

Check to make sure the o-ring is still there. If not, carry the pump to an auto parts store and they will have one to match up to it.

Lost mine quite a few times on skimmers over the years when cleaning.

You are missing the o-ring for sure.
