my seaclone skimmer is a headache, i cant seem to get any juice out this damn thing, just alot of air bubbles, please help me?

twist the air knob giving the skimmer less air, it will take a day or two for the bubbles to stop and scum to start collecting.you want dry bubbles not wet..

how long have you had the skimmer ?

mabie you need to give it more air..do you have pics of the skimmer in action..

With my skimmer, its action deteriorated over time producing less and less. So i put an extra power head via a tube into the skimmer which boosted the water level in the chamber, and also a air pump with a tap reg into the venturi. with this i then regulated the air to accommodate the extra water and hey presto huge amounts of waste.
Like super charging a V8

i know what they are and what they look like, but to help you better pics of yours might help, it seems like puff has some good ideas you could try.

Also make sure that the airtube is clean and free of clogs....IDK, you might just simly don't have enough livestock in you tank. ( sand,rock), or not enough waste, therefore there's not much to skim.

nevermind, just read your profile.

get rid of the stock air control, and get a gang valve for the airline. Also if you shorten the tube in the collection cup by an inch or so it helps. I've had my seaclone 100 skimmer, and It gets all kinds of crap out of my tank. I empty the collection cup like every other week. Look online too there are some other modifications you can do to the seaclone to make it run better.
