MR-2 Skimmer help!!!
i recently bought a mr-2 skimmer and a pcx-40 to run it (recomended pump from the company ...i plumbed it all up and sat the skimmer beside the tank above the sump and let the return water gravity fall through a 1 1/4 pipe back into the sump...my problem is... when i open the gate valve all the way open and plug the pump up, i slowly close the valve so that the water gets to the right height...then i turn the air contol valve and let it start getting air, then my tank turns white with micro-bubbles, its dumping all the fractionating foam thats supossed to be in the chamber into the tank., dont get me wrong, there is still alot of foam in the reaction chamber, but its dumping air into the sump..any way to fix it?
