PSK100H not skimming anytying

OK, so this has now broken in for about 3 weeks, and now i need the knob accordingly. Any idea how high the water should be to start getting proper skimming>?

 

Yes the water level should be almost at the bottom of the collection cup.

 

How high do the bubbles then come up? I feel like if it is that low then nothing would happen?

 

can you take a picture where the water level is now and i can advise on how to adjust it?

 

I tried attaching the photo, let me know if it works. I couldnt get a great picture of it, but right now its right near the bottom, ill see how this goes, but the bubbles seem to be popping very clear, not dark like they should be.

I could be doing this wrong, I am new to using skimmers, but it should be easier then this...

 

They will pop clear for a while just give them a little more time I pull lots of nasty stuff out of mine with it set like that.

 

OK cool I will leave it like this for a while. How long should it take to pull the dark stuff?

 

Remember it also depends on your tanks bioload and how old it is.

 

Ok so 3 days later, it is really starting to pull some nastyness out! Thanks for the info, hope it continues to work well!
