Skimmer? air bubbles?

Skimmer? air bubbles?

i have had my deltec apf600 up and running now for about two weeks and get rid of the skimmate every 3 to 4 days, but today when i did this, and turned the skimmer pump back on as i leave the pump that brings the water to the skimmer running, the air bubbles that run up the collection tube only went half way up, and it has stayed at this level since, so i have turned the pump off as i has making a kind of gurgling noise, do you guys have any ideas why it did this and what the problem is?

thanx again in advance,

andrew

Hey Andrew every time I clean out my skimmer I lose the bubbles in the chamber too. IT takes a while for them to reform. As far as the gurgling noise I'm not familiar with your skimmer to give an answer. Sorry
