New Coralife Super Skimmer 65

[lilsis13]

I just purchased this skimmer today. I have set it up and I do believe that it is not working properly. Shouldn't I be seeing some sort of bubbles? :help:

Had the same prob. It takes a while to break in. Just set the flow to about 1/2-3/4 and fine tune the level to about 1" about the large red threaded ring. Are you running it in saltwater or breaknig it in in freshwater?

I have it in my saltwater tank that I have had for about a 2 months. The air inlet silencer tubing it somewhat filled with water, is that normal? And shouldn't I see something happening in the large cannister?

That air inlet needs to be dry. Elevate it about the skimmer cup and fasten it it a manner that prevents water from getting into it. In the beginning you won't see anything, then gradually larger bubbles and then foam will appear. It will work its way up and over intot cup.
