I have the Bak Pak 2 skimmer. Over the past few weeks I noticed that it wasn't producing as much waste as before - still making bubbles but not taking the gunk out of the water. So I took it apart and cleaned it out completely yesterday. I found that the airline tube was really clogged with white stuff (salt/mineral buildup I guess). So I figured that was the problem. Now it's making bubbles but not producing any waste at all. When you totally clean out a skimmer, does it take a while to pull out waste again like before? I don't understand why that would be. About a month ago I started using PhosBan in my canister filter to help reduce hair algae - do you think that would have affected how much the skimmer is pulling out?
