did you read the instructions to make sure you have it at the right water level?

you may also have to adjust the check valve on the tubing and such as well...so yah...fiddle with it and you should figure it out. it also may take it a while to get fully functional...give it 30min or so at least if you havent

Do you have to have a Skimmer if you have coral, because i also have a 20gal SW and about six monthes from the intial setup of the tank if its really stable i might upgrade lighting and get some corals. If you have to get a skimmer i might just spend my money on nice lr instead of coral and get a brittle star, some type of shrimp(not sure) and two clown fish and hopefully a royal gramma blenny.

its a cleaner valve, take a screw driver and take it out, take care not to drop it in the skimmer, then take the brush provided with the skimmer when you bought it and and stick it in there.
