Skimmer problem

[shallowreef]

I've got a Precision Marine ES100 Skimmer that is being run by a mag950 and for the longest time it has been doing great (for the past year) but over the course of the last two weeks it has gotten worse and worse. For example it sucks air but creates little to no foam and the water level in the skimmer is low. I think its the pump to be honest. What can i do to fix this problem is it something simple? I haven't pulled any foam scum from the skimmer for awhile now.

SOUNDS like the venturi is partially clogged...use a paperclip or finishing nail to poke out venturi and check the air tube to make sure its not restricted...im sure the pump is ok...

I'll try that. Thanks Matt
