    I have a Red Sea 110 Gallon protein skimmer on my 55 gallon tank. It has a 1/2 inch crack where the motor that pumps the water and the tube meet, what would you recommend doing? Also it doesn't seems to work all that well. Any tips on how to get this thing running smoothly? It seems like i have to adjust the air flow almost all the time.
