View Full Version : Won Brothers Skimmer?????

Does anyone use this skimmer? I've had mine up for about 2 days and the
bubbles produced in the venturi are only about 1/2 inch high. I can not get
this to skim at all and I wonder if it is a normal problem with this skimmer
or if the pump has problems and is not powerful enough to power this skimmer

The skimmer is a Won Bro 75
and the pump is a Sen 300GA won Bro pump rated at 300gph

Please accept my apology for the middle finger. That was not supposed to be
in here. A friend stopped over and pasted it in and I thought I had sent
that message without it... ;-(

If it's brand new, don't stress until it's been several days with no
performance. Skimmers that are right outa-the-box can take a while to
start skimming. Additionally, if the tank is new as well, there may
be a low level of biological material in the water, further slowing
the process. And don't get mad when I ask this last one, because it's
been the key to the problem more than once, this tank is all set up,
with SAL****er in it, correct?

Otherwise, the skimmer may not be adjusted to raise the foam high
enough.....

Increasingly, it is a crime to disagree with the official version of
events, for the ruling class now frames its predatory policies in the
bogus "war on terrorism" and to disagree or not follow in lock-step
means you are either a terrorist dupe or sympathizer.

it is www.wagonstar.com,

He switched back to his oldest page. Not sure why he went back to that
page, but lets say I probably have something coming my way.

He didn't switch the password yet, so maybe I'll change it back :-)
