Today is the 3rd day it has been hooked up. Its not producing any foam. Its just bubbling below the collection cup. Is this normal? Then sometimes like in hours it will start to rise to the collection with foam then it will settle. Is this skimmer hooked up right? I have a aqua medic turboflotor

Just to add to this.. I have a cpr sr2.. and its been working fine.. but how do you know where to fine tune the collection cup?? If there are dry bubbles in the collection cup does that mean that it's too high?? I have dark stuff in the bottom but bubbles dry at the top too.. it's not like flowing continuously i guess..

that will be fine as long as the water in the collection cup isent clear then it is working
