Aquarium Advice Regular
I have been running an AquaC Remora skimmer on a 30 gallon reef tank for a little over a year now and up until about a month ago it was working flawlessly, but unfortunately after performing a water change the skimmer stopped producing waste. I noticed that there was a ring, that was located where the powerhead connects to the skimmer, that was loose and I tried to screw it back into place, but I wasn't sure where it was originally attached to. I'm not sure how long that ring had been loose or where it belongs. I had read on the company's website that the problem could be a blockage or obstruction and that I should unscrew the intake pipe and look for obstructions, but the screw seems to be made of rubber or some sort of plastic and the screwdriver justs digs into the groove of the screw without loosening it. I was originally using the skimmer with the Rio powerhead and thought that might be the problem so I recently switched to a Maxi-Jet 1200 and still no luck. Does anyone know what the problem with my skimmer is? Any help or ideas with getting the screw on the intake pipe loosened or where that ring near the powerhead connection belongs would be appreciated too.
