skimmer break in peroid

[usinkit]

Does anyone have a berlin hob skimmer? I want to know if there is a break in peroid. I installed it lastnight and its not really pulling much out, but the cheap seaclone is pulling a good amount of stuff for once and it is on the same tank.
Thank you for any help.

Mine didnt. It was pulling dry foam within 30 mins of turning it on.

What pump did you use? Iam using a mag 5 thats what they recomended. Did you have to do any modifing to put the pump on the skimmer? Does it matter how far away the pump is from the skimmer? I have 5 skimmers and have spent a ton of money on them and they all seem to be junk, but now Iam wondering if its the way Iam installing them. Thanks for the help.
