nothing happened in mine for about 5 days...did you run the vinegar through it? that is supposed to make it break in quicker.
LOL---I know you are freaking out...I did. That is why I called them twice...trust me, it will happen and when it does you will crap. This thing foams like crazy. I have mine almost all the way down still and i am getting a very thick froth at the top. like shaving cream thick. I sit in the fishroom on the floor and watch it foam.....I need a date///LOL
