    Added carbon and GFO, now skimmer pulsing

    I hope it works for you, but I will say that replacing the NAC3.5 with the reef octo 110 may have been the best move I have ever made. It took a...

    Added carbon and GFO, now skimmer pulsing

    I ended up replacing the NAC 3.5 with a reef octopus NW110. When I placed the reef octo in my skimmer section and fired it up...IT STARTED PULSING!!...

    Urgent What is this? - Pics -

    Definitely not. Copper is a drastic measure at this point and should never be added to your tank if you plan on keeping any inverts...which you...

    Added carbon and GFO, now skimmer pulsing

    Ya, I've done that. It sucks air like crazy, just like when I lower the water level inside the skimmer.

    Added carbon and GFO, now skimmer pulsing

    Yep, no change after the addition of the new pump. Still had the exact same problem, so this poits away from oils or newness of the pump.

    I've tried, but the areas in my with deeper water are too small to fit my skimmer in to test it. I might have to just mix up a batch of water and...

    Ya, the reactor/pump wasn't new. It had been used on my previous tank for approx. 9 months. When you say it "shut down" your skimmer, what do you...

    I'm I think I'll do just that. I'll remove the carbon and see what happens. If the skimmer's functionality returns, at least I'll know that there...

    The bubbles don't shut off completely, it doesn't pull any gunk, and the air intake is well above the water level inside the skimmer. 1) I've had...
