What brand is it?

I've never had a skimmer take longer than overnight. I usually plug it in overnight with the cup off, then in the morning put the cup on and adjust. Works right away. Glad you got it going!

Yeah, must have had a lot of these solvents still in there because it took good 3 days to start skimming at full capacity.
But now i am very happy with it.
A lot of air to water mixing ratio (700l/h), good stable foam, not sensitive to a sump water level variations (well unless i do a water change and drop it right down to a pump intake) and very very quiet, almost silent. I guess these rubber pads under the pump and under the skimmer itself is a very good idea.

Just an update, great skimmer running quiet, lots of air, good skimmate every two days.

I didn't ever think I would say that but now I think is time for me to admit that my tank is over skimmed!
So now I decided to have only one skimmer running (the cone obviously) and HOB Deltec is going to the vinegar bath and then storage.

Here is only two days worth of skimmate.
