Tunze 9002 - still not skimming..

[Nano]

Yeah i just did that 2 weeks ago, when I put the new pump in last night i inspected it, and its still clean

[Nano]

heres a video showing what its doing.. er.. rather not doing
you can see the bubbles not even reaching to the bottom of the cup (which is a bit dirty on the inside, but the neck is clean)
usually after cleaning the skimmer, its working or at least starting to within a few hours. so again, the neck of the skimmer is clean, the cup is dirty on the inside though. I doubt that would be the cause. I have opened up the air a bit more since filming this, so we'll see if it helps.

Any ideas?
Since opening the airline a bit the bubbles are just below the cup and look a bit finer. But I don't know if with a new motor I'm going to see an extended break in period or if something isnt right?
Again any help is appreciated..

I would say the pump isn't broken it. I would wait a bit and see what happens before doing anything else.

Yeah I'm thinking so too.. there's still no change. It's a bit of a let down, I've been reading 9002 threads and reviews today, and at least 90% are reporting skimmate with in the first 5+/- hours. Mines over 24 now.

ok.. facepalm...

I might be completely brain dead but here goes,

after reading around and finding people having similar problems, I`ve discovered maybe the pump is in backwards so to speak but cant find a good diagram on how it should go so I`m sketching up how I received it and have run it for the past year, as well as how I just read its supposed to be run, anyone who knows please let me know ASAP
thanks

so this is how I`ve run it cause thats how it came


This is what I`m reading its supposed to be set up like... is this correct or am i reading it wrong??




Thanks in advance I feel like a dummy :P

I think you are right Ken, this is the only pic I can find myself but if you go to Tunze site & look at the op manual it shows putting the pump in with the inlet of the pump facing the side where the magnet is.
