how do I get the bubbles above the waterline I have it set where the water line is perfect the bubbles are just popping they're not going up to the c

Simply increase the flow rate of air through the valve that is connected to the air pump.

I'm having the same problem and haven't figured it out yet. I've had this skimmer for over a month now and so far, it's useless. If you get a good answer, please let me know.

You have to adjust the flow of air from both pumps. Do the one that causes the bubbles up the tube, make the bubbles fast, but make sure you can actually see in between each bubble. Then do the bubbles in the main chamber. It should be a low flow, get it so that the bubbles fill the chamber at the lowest speed possible. Hope this makes sense.

Just add cool water to the fill line and put the lid on to prevent water platters from bubbles. Your fish should have been in the box or taped to the column. Contact Amazon or company to inquire about the fish. I

It's pretty hard to get bubbles. Idk what you asking really but this stuff is awesome and cheap buy it and you will find lots of uses for it.

That happens when there is to much water in bottle try and put it an inch or 2 lower than fill line bc it rises when u turn on

It sounds like theirs air getting in somehow? If it's sucking all water it shouldn't put out bubbles

This is a water pump. If you want air bubbles, get an air pump. If you want to move water, get a water circulator or "wave maker"

I just bought this unit in December and I have the exact same problem. I love the unit. It is on my bedroom carpet so I am going to try to put a mat underneath it to see if that helps and I will try to change the water level a bit as another person suggested. My guess is that the water sensor works well and the system needs to be level. Someone else told me to put it up at the highest setting and that may help. I really don't want to have to replace it and its too late to return. It really is an awesome unit. Looks great too

I assume you have a silicone or appropriate other mold that will release the resin when it cures after about 12 hours (it takes a full 72 hours to fully cure). You might have problems with the bubbles if you need an absolute clear pour from the resin. There are teeny, tiny bubbles that never seem to float to the top so you can pop them with a lighter. I've tried pouring in small amounts, running the lighter over the resin to pop the bubbles, etc. As much as I can get a "clear" pour, it's never without those ever so teeny bubbles. I've tried letting the resin sit for awhile, putting the cup of resin in warm water to help the bubbles rise and pop them, stirring the resin/hardener slowly so as not to create bubbles in the first place, etc. I've gotten some excellent results in keeping the bubbles down to almost a clear pour, but it's just never totally clear. Good luck.

This is the most annoying thing about this item. It is because the top isn't on precisely the way it should be. When I first got it, I kept playing with it and playing with it, trying to make the 'F' go away. It didnt. Eventually, I just pushed the water container and main console together a few times and it went away. But it probably kept blinking 'F' for the first couple of weeks because I just couldn't fit it together right. Now, if it comes up, I do as mentioned above and it goes away right away. Good luck.

I had same problem, the skimmer, put the cap on top of it than pump the primer as fast as possible you will see the water go thru the lines, I have air stones an caint run the skimmer, cause it sucks in air bubbles, also fill the canister with water before plugging it in an trying to prime.

They weren't for my bettas- what I did was get a little airline control valve so that I could control the size and flow of the bubbles. Another fix is to point the outflow towards the side of a tank or add some floating plants to sort of stifle the flow.

This should not be occurring; it should pop back out. You're creating a vacuum somehow. Check the lines to make sure they are not kinked or plugged.

Top off the water tank to its max level and make sure there are no air bubbles on underside of jelly fish. You can also try a drop or two of plain dish soap in the water.

Take off the silencer and see if you get the bubbles.. then if it works... take a a drill bit and see if the holes are clear... mine did the same thing (silencer was plugged ) and if still no bubbles move tthe plastic pc. (Strainer pc.) Back and forth twisting action until it starts to pull air... hope it helps if not let me know

I honestly didn't get any air bubbles in mine. Just make sure that its on right and you should have no air bubbles! ^.^

Not enough info to give help. I've used mine dozens of times with no problems. Is air being pumped into the bottle? You should be able to see the water bubbling inside.
