How long does it take for a brand new skimmer to start skimming nasty stuff. My tank has been without a skimmer for about a month. I just bought a new one and hooked it up 24 hours ago. It's finally bubbling up and into the collection cup but it doesn't seem to be cleaning anything. Their isn't any gunk in the bubbles. Do I need to wait a bit longer for the skimmer to "break in"? This is my first brand new skimmer. I've always bought used ones.
