Well then, that skimmer is defective. You better just send it to me. I'll recycle it properly. Don't worry about shipping, I'll take care of that LOL

Mike I was pulling chunks from a lifeless tank of dry rock. I expect RESULTS soldier tune that skimmer!

Intake nozzle should be all the way shut then open one full turn to align the dots. How I gave it to you though. Then turn the standpipe yadda yadda. I'm sure you've done all this.

FWIW I never used vinegar to clean it I just ran the thing. Maybe you're vigorous cleaning will mean it needs to break in I'm not sure.
