Hey guys I thou roughly cleaned my bubble Magnus nac6 for the first time in 6 months taking the impeller out ! Since then I don't seem to be skimming anything more specifically I don't seem to be getting enough bubbles in simple terms ! Any ideas what I messed up lol

That was my theory but I blew it out so I don't think so !

Can't blow out salt creep, gotta crunch it out of the line. Only reason I throw down in this thread is because I clean my pumps every week, and clean the airlines out as well, gotta queeze the lines to crunch up the creep, then swish em in water to get it out. Or some swish em around in FW.

If you cleaned the whole skimmer it takes a day or two to build up the slime coat that helps it function better. I run into the same thing when I clean mine. Give it a day or two and it should be fine.
 
Thanks everyone for the responses
@homegrowncorals88 I think you might be right it slowly seems to be looking better fingers crossed lol
