Protein skimmer troubles
Hi. Maybe you could help me out. I have a Red Sea Berlin Turbo hang on protein skimmer. I pulled out the innermost tube of the skimmer to clean it and noticed that there was a square piece of plastic, the width of the inner diameter of the tube, sitting loosely in the end of the tube where it inserts into the base of the skimmer. Follow me so far?
<I think.>
I wasn't sure what to do with it so I just put it back as untouched as possible, at which point it promptly fell into the base of the skimmer and I had to tear the whole thing apart again. My owners manual does not mention this square of plastic nor is it shown in any diagram I could find. Needless to say it's not working right now and I'm open to suggestions.
<I believe the piece you are talking about should be attached to the inner tube. It goes on the bottom, across the middle, arranged vertically (if you follow me). You may want to contact Red Sea tech support to confirm. There website is here http://www.redseafish.com/>
Thanks, Dave.
