hahah the only time you chime in, is to give me a hard time no worries,

also found out my pipe that flows from the overflow into my refugium doesnt work so i have to take that out and cap it, not enough flow pushing through it so it just sucks up air.


also a quick question, my herbie seems to be sucking air everyone once in a while, and it gets noisy, i cant seem to get the little air bubbles out of it. do people get a little air bubbles or is it usually no air bubbles.

maybe try adjusting your gate valve just a little bit more and see if you can get it so no air bubbles are happening

no thats not it, i have it at a height where its about 1/2" from the overflow, its making bubbles but none are reaching the bottom, i think i might have some kinda of air leak. i have to take out the refugium line from the overflow maybe that is where its coming from.

got my skimmer working again, i think the impeller was stuck on the rod because it was turning without the front plate on but once i put it on, it wouldnt turn, so thats working, thanks goodness because i dont have money to put down on a new skimmer.

but the stupid air that is coming through i think there might be a leak in my gate valve anyone else ever had that problem.

Can you take pictures of the top of your herbie so we can get an idea of the water height?
