Hi all, I just got my first saltwater setup after keeping freshwater fish for years. I bought a JBJ Nano cube 28 used from my LFS and everything on it works great with one exception. It came with a Tunze Nano protein skimmer that doesn't really seem to be working. It has been set up for 3 days and there is no skim. On top of that, if I try to adjust it a little higher it shoots water up into the chamber, threatening to overflow.
I can't really find anything obviously wrong with the skimmer, but I admit that I don't really know what to look for. I have convinced myself to buy another skimmer asap but I am having a hard time finding one that will fit in the little mini sump area without major modifications. The JBJ protein skimmer that is designed for the tank has mixed reviews that lead me to believe I won't be able to keep corals with it installed and will need to upgrade.
Does anyone have any experience or advice on the subject to share?
