Skimmer Not Working

[tdileo]

Today I plugged in my Eshopps S-120 for my new tank and it’s not producing any bubbles. You can see the pump moving water around, but no bubbles are coming up the neck. I’m not sure how to post videos but here are 2 pictures.

Blow on the air intake to restart the air suction in the venturi. This seems to be a common problem on the restart of the smaller Sicce pinwheel pumps.

So when blowing on it I realized that there was zero airflow. I pulled the air line out and it turns out there was a little rubber plug in it. Removed it and set everything back up and voila. Wish I noticed it earlier haha

I have an Aquamaxx ConeS Q-3 and I have the same problem! this seems to be a normal problem with this pumps.

Check if any of the lines are plugged or filled with water. If not and it’s still not working I would contact customer service

There is a plug somewhere you didn’t see. I did the same thing on mine. I can’t remember where it was, may be a sticker or something over the air intake.
