Skimmer Help**

[Homepets]

I am looking after a marine tank some people while they are on holiday. I have just visited and the skimmer as stopped working, the water container at the back of the tank is gurgling but there is no water flowing through.

I topped up the water level in the tank but it still isn't working - how urgent is this

ok it sounds that the pump is trying to pull the current through see if the intake of the pump is blocked or cloged if it has a sponge on the intake try taking it out and cleaning it. see if you can find an air intake valve and close it off and see if the pump catches. contact the owner and ask him or her about it you could turn it off as a last ditch effort if they will be home soon
