I pulled it out and cleaned all of it. It’s such a nonsensical design. You can’t control the air intake or the water intake. You can turn the pump up and reduce the outflow but neither seems to increase the foam just the water level.

If you have a small air pump, you can hook it up to the airline. I've done that in the past.

But they use so much less power than the old skimmers. I miss my old aquac it just worked

Well it’s making foam. How long till it sucks up more debris and stops working though?

I miss my Tunze Comline, which is sitting in my closet but doesn't fit. It would work in my old refugium despite all of the detritus and chaeto it sucked in; it just soldiered on.

So I can have more skimmers sitting in my closet?
I mean, I just won the Coralife Skimmer on Facebook and have a brand new ESHOPPS in the garage still in the box, an older Coralife Super Skimmer in the garage, an older something-or-other-else skimmer sitting in the garage, and the IOAOI that got urchin ate sitting in my dining room waiting for a repair...
