Frustrations with Vertex Omega 150 Skimmer

[lastlight]

my 150 is raised to 7.5" in my sump and i had a brief period of success but it's been slightly green water in there ever since. anytime i check the foam column it seems to be collapsed. the gunk is always on the neck no matter how i've tried to adjust it. my venturi intake nozzle thing is fully closed...

I find this too. I've disassembled, I've run in vinegar etc. far too many things I've done for this thing. Would rather return and start with a new one at this point. And I think that's fair. When I first got it, it was great.

You can come over and see how my 150 is setup or I can test yours in my tank for a while.
