Sean, I know I'm going off the deep end here but have you taken apart the becket? Not sure even if this has been suggested yet.(wow long post) Anyways I made the mistake once after doing a mod to a skimmer and not cleaning out the acrylic chips. They all end up in the becket. I worked for days trying to figure out why my skimmer was working worse then before the mods. Low and behold the becket was full of all the chips. Oh and yes I'm embarrassed to share this on the board.

Ok how about a pic as it is now and go over what you have done and we will see if we can get this going. Oh for your becket holder what size air hole do you have drilled in it?

Yeah, I think Steve is onto something,


I tried something on another skimmer to see, it too had an elbow at the bottom... if too much air was introduced to the injector, the bubbles would all stay in the injection portion of the column.

Do you have a means of adjustment on the air introduced to the beckett ?

Well these is quite a bit of air getting in so maybe thats my problem, theres nothing really restricting how much air is entering the beckett, so do you think if i restrict the air it might improve?

What is the height of your reaction chamber and the height of the Beckett down pipe right now? Also, did you change the beckett tube size to 1"? Can we get a picture to see how its running?
