Default first time using skimmer

Look to see if you are getting so many bubbles in the tank, that the
bubbles are sticking to the worms, and floating them up.


Ya...thats is what is happening. They are alive. The skimmer even sucked a
few of them up.

Someone said the bubbles will go away when the skimmer starts producing.

And right now the skimmer water is bubbling several inches below the top of
the collection cup tube. I didn't think I wanted bubbling water overflowing
into the cup. Am I correct in thinking that if I leave it at this level
that it will start to foam later and then start going into the cup?

Also, I see all these videos or pics of foam/froth boiling over into the cup
and makes me think this cup will fill up with water and gunk within a few
hours.....I'd hate to think I'd have to come home every few hours from work
just to keep the cup from overflowing.
