I just got this new tank setup and the guy helped me put it together. Basically a 220G glass reef tank with a 90G sump, bio balls, uv sterilizer, and Big Protein Skimmer but I'm not sure the skimmer is working. I am attaching a couple of pics and would appreciate any help in what I need to do to make it work right. He said it was a "backdraft" skimmer and that it doesn't have a cup to remove but instead overflows to a drain hose(which I haven't put on yet but it isn't foaming up yet) but nothing is foaming up and over into the draing reservior. There is one power head forcing water in and a valve I can adjust which raises the water level in the main cylinder but that's it so far. It stands about 24-30" high to give you an idea of its size. Any ideas before I have to buy a new one?????
Thanks, Chris
