On another note, do you have enough room in your sump for the backflow when the power goes out?

Thats what I was wondering. If you only have an inch and a half where does the water go on power outage?

If your cheato is falling apart then I would trim it back. Alot.

Lower the water level in your sump if you can. Are your baffled to the top

Yea im not sure how the cheato is jumping the baffle, mine just stays in the compartment thats its in

It's probably.falling apart from low nutrients

If you come by my house in North Van I can give you everything you need to solve your problem. I used to have sooo many problems with this skimmer, now I drain the cup every 2 weeks and it's been running problem free for 5 months now and it's in the same section as chaeto

Or i can post a couple photos and material list for what you need

Is this a first gen without the tension lock? If so I have a spare.

thank you vancity!

the cheato very firm so its not falling apart. I have an emerald crab in there keeping things clean for me so he must be doing something
