The secret with this device is to make sure that all of the fittings
are tight and that no air escapes (especially where the water comes out
of the venturie and passes into the skimmer. I use one of the plastic
clamps on this fitting. Also, when you first start it there is not
normally anything collected for a day or so. This is normal and should
not be cause for alarm. You should remember that the amount of waste
collected is proportional to the amount of organic compounds dissolved
in your water. Good tank maintenance habits = less waste collected.
If you feed a little too much (bad idea), that food that dissolves in
the water will end up in the collection cup.
