Tunze 9002 - still not skimming..

I would say the pump isn't broken it. I would wait a bit and see what happens before doing anything else.

Yeah I'm thinking so too.. there's still no change. It's a bit of a let down, I've been reading 9002 threads and reviews today, and at least 90% are reporting skimmate with in the first 5+/- hours. Mines over 24 now.

ok.. facepalm...

I might be completely brain dead but here goes,

after reading around and finding people having similar problems, I`ve discovered maybe the pump is in backwards so to speak but cant find a good diagram on how it should go so I`m sketching up how I received it and have run it for the past year, as well as how I just read its supposed to be run, anyone who knows please let me know ASAP
thanks

so this is how I`ve run it cause thats how it came


This is what I`m reading its supposed to be set up like... is this correct or am i reading it wrong??




Thanks in advance I feel like a dummy :P

I think you are right Ken, this is the only pic I can find myself but if you go to Tunze site & look at the op manual it shows putting the pump in with the inlet of the pump facing the side where the magnet is.

Thanks Greg. Yeah I couldn't figure it out 100% the diagrams are awful, I wish they'd do a side view as well.

Ok well I flipped it around the 'right way'(i hope) the bubbles are super fine now, but they are just barely into the base of the neck. I'm assuming its going to break in now the right way.. lol. Man what a dunce (me)
