I just started hearing a loud buzzing noise coming from my tank... I went to check and it seemed like it was coming from the skimmer... I tried jiggling it to see if I could get it to stop out if it would muffle the sound... no change at all so I thought maybe it was actually coming from something else so I proceeded to investigate those possibilities... I wasn't having any luck so I was back to the skimmer... I covered the air intake with my finger and the buzzing stopped! I took my finger off and the buzzing did not return.
What was causing the buzzing sound? Should I be concerned? It seems strange to me that just briefly covering the air intake would stop whatever it was from continuing.
I should also note that the skimmer was working normally and well before, during, and after the buzzing.
