lighting...Good bunch of folks there!

hmmmmmmmm
Totally amazing to me. I happen to have 6 CSS skimmers adn they have
yet to screw up or not do what they are diesigned to do. Sounds more
like the skimmer is smarter than the consumer....and the regulars here
are clueless.....

Never ending insults in your hopeless quest to look superior or even equal
to others. Get back into treatment. No one here can help you. We're not
qualified.

Here's my experience, take it for what you will. I've been battling
with this particular skimmer for over a year now, I'm near replacing
it.
But over the last week it's produced zero bubbles, so here's what I
did to solve it. First I don't think that your silencer is the issue,
I
think I noticed mine is uni-directional, so that it may seem blocked,
but try sucking instead of blowing. But I digress, I find that moving
the pump closer to the surface of the water allows it to take on
bubbles
either with or without the silencer, but it is good and loud
without.
I don't know that I want to officially recommend snipping the tubing
on your pump(the one that feeds to the skimmer) but it worked for me.
I
assume it's easily replacable at any local home improvement store if
it
gets messed up.

Other issues I find with the CSS, bubble diffuser is absolutely
worthless. Occasionally it would get tempermental and fill itself up
with no real warning, and leak all over my floor as it has no reason
not
to pour out the top. I've been trying to fix the problems as they
come,
but it's annoying, keeping the water level where it's supposed to be
is
not super fun. And the instructions and website mention none of this.

"silencer" that has a tube running down to the venturi at the
pump.There is no air flow through this silencer,through either
nipple on it.It's a round piece of plastic,with two "nipples" on the
top of it.When I disconnect the tubing,and let it suck air it
appears to run normally,but the skimmate is WAY to wet,and the level
rises too high.Any help would be appreciated,the website is useless.

No offense,and I dont want to become part of the ****ing contest
going on here,but the replies I have gotten on that forum are not
good.Hell,one of the guys didnt even read my post before telling me
I didnt have enough light for my tank,if he had he would have been
able to figure it out.Not to mention the fact that it took 2 days to
get a reply,and the last post besides mine is 8 days old...not
exactly Grand Central Station over there huh? But I do thank you for
the advice.

I post plenty about fish and the hobby. However, there was NO reason
for "Sybil" to post about a Coralife Skimmer subject, and post nothing
having to do with one anyway, on the freshwater Misc. group.
*I* wasn't the person responsible for cross posting it. "Ocean
Breeze" (along with their 20 other screen names -so far) is
responsible about that. You did too by the way, so you really can't
say much about that to me.
You also question me about posting, yet you did the same thing. It's
quite hillarious that *you* are telling anyone to keep on topic.
Take your own adivce and yes, the groups would be a much nicer place.
Now don't bother replying about this. Let's not clutter up the groups
with more nonsense.
If you feel the need to reply, do so via email.

I post plenty about fish and the hobby.

So did I before the trolls took over the group.

However, there was NO reason
for "Sybil" to post about a Coralife Skimmer subject, and post nothing

I didn't see any Sybil. I did see Tristan's messages using my NYM,
impersonating me. I'm sure you saw them as well.

*I* wasn't the person responsible for cross posting it.

Then how did it came from your PC to those groups when you replied? Why
didn't you remove the other groups instead of perpetuating the problem?
Just REMOVE the cross-posted messages or use your killfile as I was advised
to do.
