for some reason my seaclone protein skimmer isnt collecting any waste at the waste chamber, it wont really bubble at the top and i dont think its even producing a vortex,
also it was leaking at the tube that bring the water into the skimmer, at the part where u screw that tube to the skimmer itself, i sealed the leak, could that have anything to do with it?
Something wrong with protein skimmer help :(

Replace the plastic valve they give you with a brass valve, ask your LFS for one and they'll probably just give it to you.

Thanks that helped alot, just to make sure by powerhead do you mean clean that sponge that u submerse into the tank? or like open up the powerhead as in the big grey block thats next to the sponge, this is my first skimmer so im not really familiar with all its parts, and it was also handed down from a friend so i dont have the manual or anything so i dont no which part is called what. thanks hope to here from you :)
