My RD3 on my SuperMarin 250 is about a year old and it’s been acting up for a number of months now. No matter how many times I clean in it will F8 within 10 minutes. The unit is spotless inside and out, the airway is clear, the diffuser is clean. Not sure what to do at this point. Good news is my tank is thriving without the skimmer in use. Been off for like 3 months and everything is kicking. I guess I’m at that point where my corals suck up whatever is available. Nitrates are at 5. PO4 typically below .1.

Still, I would like to use my skimmer again. Any thoughts?
