Does anyone own a MCE 300 Skimmer?

Post by Arny »

Hey Guys

Does anyone own a MCE 300 Skimmer?

I've put mine together this evening and it doesn't seem to be working properly. The pump isn't sucking the water from the tank. I've had a closer look and there's a small hole in the tube near the pump. The thing is the hole looks like it's suppose to be there as it's a perfect circle.

Do you have a MCE 300 Skimmer I can match this to?

Here's a couple of pix (the red circle shows you where the hole is)

I got my skimmer working, it's only been running 24hrs and has already removed some brown stuff. I didn't think there would be much stuff in there since theres only live rock in the tank.
