I have an SRO 1000 INT skimmer, but this morning it has stopped producing the thousands of tiny bubbles in the cone and instead I am seeing just larger bubbles. What do I need to do to fix this?
Thanks!

I would guess that the pump has sucked something into and around pinwheel ?

Thats what I would check too.
Make sure the venturi is clear and that something is not clogging the pump.
I had a snail get sucked into mine a couple times. They dont work so well like that!:suspicious:

Just a couple other ideas.
It could be too the water level or the salinity if either of these changes. The production will change with any change to either of these.
Could be break in also. How new is the skimmer? Could just need adjustment of the gate valve. And it may change periodically for a while till it breaks in if its still pretty new.

Guess I need to take it apart! I will update later, working on dinner right now.
