Skimmer troubles.

[Alexreefer]

I have the skimz sk181 kone series skimmer. I had finished using chemiclean and have gotten my skimmer to stop overflowing. Now the skimmer has troubles making enough bubbles to get past the point where the skimmer cup connects to the skimmer body. The skimmer is at the correct height as well. I cleaned the entire skimmer in 50/50 vinegar solution for 15 minutes and have checked the venturi and skimmer pump, everything is fine. What could be causing this? How should I solve this?

Thanks, Alex

You will usually have some skimming issues after using chemiclean or other reef safe meds. If you give it a few days it will probably start working normally again

I'll try to wait it out. Anything i can do to speed it up?

Carbon may help if you aren't already running some

I am using carbon in a reactor

The only thing that you can really do then is patiently wait for everything to stabilize
