    so i tried adjusting the blue tube that connects to the clear so that there wouldn't be a kink, so i plugged the skimmer in and no difference :/

    It prob wont be an immediate difference when you do find the problem, all of those bubbles in the tank seem to hang out forever. Unless you just notice large amounts of bubble pouring out of the overflow.

    sorry for my noobness right now, but is the overflow apart of the skimmer or is it something else?
