Tip of the Day

Protein skimmer not working up to snuff? The venturi (air intake) fitting on protein skimmers can easily become clogged with salt or mineral deposits. If you notice your skimmer is suddenly producing more water than foam, then most likely your venturi is clogged. Use a thin piece of wire, a toothpick or small brush to clean out the fitting and it should run as good as new! For really tough mineral deposits, a quick soak in a 10% vinegar/water solution will loosen it up!
