Skimmer trouble?

If there are any oily films from food or if the salinity is off output will be reduced. If you clean the skimmer tank it will take a day or so to start producing again. I have good results using the preskimmer box. Did you clean the impeller shaft?

I took the powerhead apart and cleaned everything inside, I cleaned the collection device, and I rinsed out the inside of the main box really well, but did not scrub it or anything. There were anemone "guts" stuck to everything

you should scrub and remove all body parts from the skimmer. After doing that it will take a while to get skimming again. Also would be an idea to use some charcoal.
