Hi everyone, I received a second hand protein skimmer and I’m trying to run it but I can’t seem to get it to bubble. Any clue how to fix this? Thanks :)
Looks like a fluval that gave me problems a while back
At end of video when you turned valve and the water went down , thats where you want it. Also if its more than 8" down in water, it may only draw water.
Now that water is down, allow it to seed itself and start working
