So I started my 55 gallon about a week ago, and my remora has been doing great. But the other day something weird started happening, and It wont stop.
There is a little hole on the foam collection cup that gives the unit ventilation or something, and the foam doesnt settle anymore it comes up into the cup, heads straight for that hole, and plugs it up. Once this happens, foam no longer goes to the cup, instead it goes right back into the tank (where the pressure from the system is now escaping) through the water-output chamber.
This really sucks. I get literally 2 minutes of skimming before this happens, it is so annoying. Has this happened to anybody before. It is almost more efficent to turn the unit off at this point because all it is doing is creating waste ladden bubbles that sit on the water surface and stink up my house.
