Sounds like its working fine. The green stuff is the skimate. Just empty when it gets about half full, and try to keep the inside neck clean as well. This will help the skimate foam to pass by into the cup.

Did you add any chemicals? If so it's normal... it also happens to mine randomly... just leave it and let it be

If there are NO bubbles being made in the skimmer AT ALL ten you have a problem... check for blockages... If there are some bubbles it's working fine
