By the "narrow tube" of the skimmer... you mentioned you had an aqua c
remora I think? Do you mean the "spray injection" tube? You might check
that, but what I meant is is there crap growing on the inside of the
reaction chamber and or intake tube? Do you have the preskimmer/baffle
thingy that they sell as an option for the remora's? If not, and if
there is crap growing inside the reaction chamber, it COULD be that your
skimmer is putting out water with more dissolved organics in it than the
water that is going INTO it.

I mean the very skinny tube that requires removal of a
plastic screw to put a 1/2 inch cleaner down. I clean the
skimmer twice a week. Tomorrow I'm going to take down the
whole skimmer and scrub all of it.
