Reef Octopus Skimmer Breaks Down in 48hrs!!!
 

So I picked up a Reef Octopus skimmer from Concepts and spent a ton on it and after 48hrs, it stopped working! The pump seems like its dead , has anyone experience this problem before? I hear a lot of people using this skimmer on this form, did I get a lemon?

Take the pump apart, maybe something got jammed in it

My RO-110 will sometimes surge... I think the motor is crap.... I wont get another....

DC pump?

Did you call concept, they generally look after people pretty well.

After taking a part the skimmer and cleaning out the pump, if finally started! What I noticed is there is not a whole lot of micro bubbles forming though. Does the new skimmer need to be broken in ? I adjusted water level half way on the skimmer neck. Would that be good enough?

Knowing what actual model of skimmer would help, not just the brand.

Its the dcpov2

So just to make sure I have the right skimmer, is it the baby brother to mine
