Default AquaC Remora Pro Break In.

I replaced my Seaclone piece of junk last Friday with an Aqua C Remora Pro
with the skim box and Mag 3 pump. Everything is setup and level. Per the
instructions I washed the unit in warm water prior to installing it to
clean off oils from the manufacturing process.

The instructions say it takes a few days to break in and begin producing
foam. However, mine is not producing that much foam. In fact its producing
about the same amount as the Sea Clone. I have the collection cup at the
lowest level. it appears the foam gets stuck at the top of the tube. In the
process the tube collects a bunch junk. Again, just like the Sea Clone was
doing in the end. What am I doing wrong here?

My tank is a 75 Gal with a fairly high bio load, so I'm sure there should
be plenty of waist for it to skim out. I can say the the oily slick on the
surface of the water is gone, but I expected it to extract more of the
waist.

For biological filtration I use UG with two power heads and a fluval
canister filter. Could the bio filtration be converting the waist before
the protein skimmer can remove it?

Thanks,
Glenn
