Protien Skimmer

[dnvrbrown]

I purchased a Jebo 180 protien skimmer and placed it on my tank 3 days ago. I have adjusted the air intake numerous times and it still isn't foaming into the holding cup at all. Does anyone have any recomendations? It is a tank that is still in its cycle. Does that make a difference?

Could take a couple weeks to break in, and if the tank is still cycling there probably isn't much for it to skim out in the first place. Give it some time

not to sound to harsh, but jebo's arent really that good. if the tank is still cycling than you have no waste to really pull out. and any new piece of equipment will have a break in period....
