My skimmer isn't working, I open the valve? And the bubbles still won't come to the top of the collection cup!! It keeps spitting out micro bubbles!! I've have this for about 1 year that I bought used from another guy. It's on my 29 gallon fowlr. I have 2 clowns, 1 purple fire fish and a green chromis.

Have you had this problem for a whole year, or is it new?

Have you taken the pump apart and cleaned it?

Are you adjusting the air/water ratio? When I have too much water going in my skimmer it blows micro bubbles. Open your air valve wide open?

Is it new!! It is wide open and I'm not getting anything!!! Not even water overflowing the collection cup
 
Do you think I should remove the surface skimmer? Is that the problem maybe?
 
The skimmer is working!!! I took of the surface skimmer and wow!!! It works like a charm again!!!

You think the Ro 100 or bh 1000 will be good for 29 ? Do I really really need one
 
I would also add some carbon to your setup. It will make your water clearer as well.
