okay blue I see a few problems with your set up. less tubing. and no connectors. If you want to secure them.....use zip ties. I dont have any connectors with my maxi jet...it just hangs on with its life....but your mag drive should have some mounting hardware.......try to get as little tubing as possible there....and connect them together. Maybe half an inch between the outlet of the mag drive and the inlet of the remora. The higher that mag drive the better........the more gunk it will pull. With your fasteners.......they are steel....you dont want those in your tank. They can leach and hurt your fish tank friends. Just try to get the mag drive ON the remora...i mean as close as humanly possible. That will get you prime flow.......it will look better.......and you will get more skimmate. As for your bubbles problem.....give it a weak or two....they will go away. It has to break into your system. Im sure its been a while since it been used....and even if it hasnt it has to break in.

measure your inlet to the skimmer....outlet from the pump..put 1/4 an inch between those....bam. maybe 2.5-3 inches of tubing...probably closer to 2 inches...and connect them with that much.

are you putting an angle in the hose? Just run your pump directly under the remora.....dude you gotta be missing something for this to not be working for you. Something doesnt seem right. My remora took me 30 seconds to hook up and get it running.

k the pump has like flat back to it with 4 small holes, i have that side against the glass which puts the outlet of the pump perpendicular to the glass...... the remora inlet is parallel to the glass where it goes in so that means i have to run a hose out from the outlet of the pump and run it up into the remora inlet. Correct?? send me a pic of your set up via email , blueshoes2208@yahoo.com
