Oase Biosys IP-200 skimmer clogging pump

[Michael Shaffer]

The screen on my new skimmer isn't small enough and my pump keeps
getting clogged (Mag-Drive 3600). Anybody know a way to keep smaller
stuff from going through the skimmer basket? Can I put some kind of
screen on it? I don't want to limit it too much or the basket will get
clogged with stuff.

Thanks
Mike

Go to a building center and ask for cloth to cover drainage tile. It comes
in rolls and is shaped like a tube. It is also fairly cheap. You could try a
large size pantyhose also.
