I purchased a Aqua C Remora protein skimmer with a skimmer basket about 6 weeks ago. Frankly I have had nothing but trouble with it. I had a lot of stuff floating on the top of my tank and over night it cleared it up. But from there it's gone down hill. For one thing the set screws don't hold the basket in place on the ph(maxijet 1200). Had to use some shims to get it to work. now the stuff is back on the top of the tank. I took the skimmer apart and cleaned it and tried again but not much is happening water is being pumped because water is always coming out but it is not skimming much at all, not loads of foam unless I push the collection basket all the way down, if I pull the skimmer basket up the chamber where the ph is never runs dry and water is still coming out. My tank is a 75 gallon that was set up about 14 weeks ago with 100 lbs of cured life rock, some snails and 1 fish that was just put in a day ago. My ammonia, nitrite and nitrate are all 0. I hate to say it but at this point my seaclone 100 skimmer worked better. I need help!!! any ideas?
