    I have had SR3 skimmer for 3 days...the bubbles are minimal to non-existant. I have read several blogs regarding better pumps (to be used with the skimmer)....any suggestions?

    Make sure you have everything set up according to the instructions. It can take up to a week until skim-mate is produced. I am guessing you are not getting anything into the cup.

    You're welcome. Can you get the piece in the right place? If not contact the manufacturer to get the pump replaced.
