rsm 250 SKIMMER

Is there any tricks to getting this stupid skimmer running good, mine bubbles right over or seems like it doesn't skim at all.

How long have you had your set-up? In my case 4 mos. The tank is pretty con-tank-oruss in the beginning to say the least. I found that you have to have quite a high water level, past the mid-way point on the black plastic rim @ the top, with your weir keeping the water level in between the very top 2 bars on the sump viewing window. From there turn skimmer all they way down, and slowly re-adjust upwards. If it's new it'll probably take a couple of weeks to break in, just keep the cup higher til it does. I now run my water at that level with the skimmer cup as low as it will go. It seem's to make stable foam and pulls quite a bit of s... out.

I have had it running for just about a month and I am already ready to buy a new skimmer
