Vacation for two weeks!!! YIKES!

What's up with your skimmer?

 

LOL, nothing brother, thats whats wrong!!! Its not foaming!! I cant get the water level to stabalize on or right below the foor. Ive been working with it for the past two days.
CR dont worry about it, have fun in orlando/kissimme!!! Ill talk to you when you get back!

 

Have you just added or just cleaned this skimmer? If so, it's probably just breaking in and it won't be much longer before you have foam. If not, then I have no idea

 

I just placed this skimmer on the tank, but it aint new, it was used before, so there aint no factory oils on it. I know its gonna take a while for foaming to start, now what i didnt know that it was gonna be so dificult to maintain a water level!
So amcarrig, this is normal, it should stabalize sometime, right? Do i keep on touching it to make it to the level of the foot, or do i leave it alone???
Thanks!

 

I would leave it alone for another day before trying to adjust it again. It has to build up a layer of bio slime in the chamber before it starts to skim well.

 

ok, ima leave it a couple more days before adjusting the water level, thanks amcarrig!!
