OK lets see a list of the problems im having 1. NOt producing very much skimmate and thats w/ the maxi-jet 2. Kinda loud 3. Micro bubbles galore. Its a fairly new skimmer ive had it up for over a week after i gave it a really good rinse down . Its an older model because it uses the screw and not the o-ring ( which I will be purchasing ) but I just doesnt seem to skim much Ive got about 1/4 of the collection cup full In all this time and its very wet ..................am i doing something wrong here.......PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Give it a little more time. I've noticed a lot of bubbles out of mine when it's clean. Once it 'breaks in' it seems to mellow out.

Skimmate production isn't the best out there, but it seems to do a good job once it adjusts.

Yes give it some time it probably just hasnt broken in fully yet. As for the bubble I personally used the bubble trap on my pro when I had it to stop them completely. Plus it gets rid of surface scum

You need to give it a little more time. If it's not skimming very much, it's because the skimmer somehow still have oil in it. Give it about 2 weeks. It'll be fine. If your collection cup has too much water, it's because it's down too far. Purchase the O-ring and raise the cup up.
