    I started using my skimmer again in my 10 gallon and when I hooked it back up it starting skimming great then today it just stopped building skimate. Anyone have the same problem or know what I'm doing wrong.



    Thanks

    A skimmer removes dissolved organics in the system consistent with the tank's bio-load. With a small tank and light load, it's entirely possible (and probable) that there's nothing to remove on a continuous basis once it cleared the "build-up" from being offline.
