Tunze Nano 9002 Skimmer - No bubbles

[hillegom]

I don't have one of these, but there should be warranty on this

I got mine used it works great, maybe yours is defective?

Yes it is still under warranty, but they want me to ship it back (at my cost), and then hopefully get a replacement. In the meantime, my QT tank with two fish in it will be without a skimmer. I am trying to get them just to send out a replacement venturi asap. Thanks, Leon

i dont think you should have to pay the shipping for something that they sent you if its not working properly. but thats my opinion.

I know this may seem dumb but I'm going to ask. Is the hose connected to the top plate of the skimmer?

Not dumb at all. But I can't even get it to pull air in a bucket. Just the pump, venturi, and air line. That's how i was able to blow in the line and actually get it to bubble. Process of elimination. It will actually backflow water up the airline.

I have the same skimmer (got mine used ) and it has never had problems making bubbles . I have seen some post on bunk venturies on nano reef and the customer service rep sent the people new ventruris no questions asked .Your fish will be ok without a skimmer for a while my 50 gal has no skimmer and it does fine.
