Best way t pps check a skimmer is to allow to read
rec.aquaria.marine.reefs, and soon with allthe **** Wayne Sallee and
Pszemol puts ut its bound to start putting crap in the collection cup.
You can always **** in the tank too. That also gets a good foam going.
Of course, if you have loose sloppy runs that would really work better
than a hard turd would. now if you had a big tank you could always
have fish tank sex, that for sure would get that "protein" skimmer
cooking off!

I bought a new skimmer and this is my first time ever using one.

It is a hang on the tank type and is rated for 180 gallons, but I have
it on
an already established 30 gallon tank. Reason I got it so big is I
plan on
setting up a 55 gallon in the near future.

Anyway, it seems to operate...the column is filled with bubbles. But
no
gunk is coming out and the return water puts lots of micro bubbles in
my
tank.

Am I doing anything wrong, or have I just not had it set up long
enough.
This is the first day its in operation.

I even stirred up the tank so that some of the crap rose up into the
tank
hoping it would suck alot of it out.
