Why Is My Protein Skimmer Not Foaming at Joshua Kelley blog

Why Is My Protein Skimmer Not Foaming. There are a few potential causes to consider if you notice that the protein skimmer you are using is becoming full too quickly. Too much fuel or waste and not enough air will result in dirty brown foam that slowly rises, often has visible chunks in it and collects a ton of gunk inside the skimmer cylinder or neck. Essentially your skimmer is running too lean, with not enough nutrients (fuel) for the amount of air going into the foam engine (skimmer). I am running a bubble magus nac6 that up until. You skimmer does not appear to be working to me if it is running in that picture. Most of the foam fails to rise and very little foam finds its way into the collection cup. Tuning a protein skimmer is all about the nutrient to air ratio where the more nutrients you have, the more air you will need to effectively skim the water. You need to check that the pump inlet and air connection are. So i have recently been having a fair bit of trouble with my protein skimmer. Why is the protein skimmer overflowing?

Tuning protein skimmers or setting them up properly is still
