so i woke up this morning to a noise i hadnt heard before and my gf says what is the noise so i go over to the tank and think right off the bat something is going on with the skimmer ..... and after some investigation i find that the skimmer is leaking onto a plastic bag below my tank that is making the noise .. so i unplug it to top the leak ..... i figured out where it was too ... its through the vent hole on the output tube ..... so i messed with it a bit and pluged it back in and now its not leaking .. but is it because my water is so low or what? .... but now im mixing a 5gal bucket of some water so i can do a PWC because i lost about a gallon or two of water due to the leak ..... help .... i knew i would run into something ... also are you supposed to keep the output thing above the water line ...... so when i fill my tank back up with new water fully that will cause it to go under the water because of the way it hangs on the back of the tank .... so do i need to raise the skimmer up that way its out of the water some cause if i dont wont all the bubbles just go into the tank .... i really wanna get this working so any advice is helpful .... thanks
