Nothing to Skim?

I finished cycle in my 180 4 days ago.
I put on a Sealife Systems 350 Skimmer and ran it for 2 days.
Put out foam and gunk (watery gunk) (about 10 oz) over 2 days. I put in 2 fish. Kole and Blonde Naso Tang.
More foam 3rd day.
On the 4th, no foam. In the coloum, its just bubbling water. I checked the valve and airline tube and everything is fine.
Does this mean that theres nothing left in the water? or is something wrong?

in a newly cycled tank there is very little for the skimmer to pull out. it takes a month or more for it to build up enough nutrients for it to pull them out.
