Skimmer not Skimming?

[Rick]

Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed that my Euro-Reef Skimmer
has not been collecting much DOC as it has before. I have it set so it
might even collect wetfoam,(riserupallthe way) but and still nothing.
There is alot of dry foam at the top but the resevoirt will not fillup
with anything. Is there somthing I maybe that needs replacement?
There is 1000000'sof microbubbles. Whaaaaats Up with that?

How long has it been since you cleaned up the main chamber, and
dismantled the pump, as well? I have had mine only about 6 months,
and twice have taken it down to totally clean, run the sedra in a
bucket of vinigar water, and reamed out the main chamber with a
(clean, bought for this purpose) toilet brush, then soaked it in
vinegar water.

Perhaps you have nothing to skim?
I dumped mine after three month of mangrove filtration.
Dump some phyto in and see if it catches it.
