    I'm pretty sure the pump is broken cause now there are barely any bubbles in the Skimmer.

    Pump is fine, I just had to open the valve more to let in more water. Lots of microbubbles in the skimmer now. My temp. problem was related to my thermometer. My old one is saying 86 degrees while my new one is saying 77-78 degrees, I believe the new one.

    Which is better, dry or wet skimming? I don't get when the manual is saying dry creates less volume and wet creates more volume?

    Well that's good you've got your skimmer working. I personally run my skimmer a little on the wet side. A happy medium I think...
