I bought 2 Jebo 180 skimmer to used on my small marine tanks ( 35 & 70G ) I know all about Jebo but I got them at cost ( which was close to nothing ) so I can't complain ( yet ). I have a concern on how they work or better yet not work. I have one skimmer in use and it was skimming fine brown/green stinky stuff and all that, I thought I had it dialed in and all was good, until one day I came home to find the cup full of water !?!, I emptied it cleaned it and put it back on the skimmer and sat and watched for about a hour and all seemed well no signs of any problems or the risk of another overflow, the next morning all was fine, that night I came home to a flooded basement I had about 5-6G's of water on the floor and sure enough the cup was full of water again..I could see no problems with the skimmer, airline was clear with nothing blocking it ??
So riddle me this what is causing the change ?? I have it turned right down now, MAX air so I am afraid it won't be skimming well in the future but I am puzzled as to why it would be working one day and flooding the next ?? Lastly where should the bubbles start when hitting the cup throat, mine are now sitting well below it..
Any thought ??
Please don't answer with buy anew skimmer..LOL
