yeah my thoughts exactly, when i first got it it was foaming like crazy.
had about 2 shot glasses full of dark dark brown crap after 2 days. keep in mind i hadnt had a skimmer on the tank for a whole year and the water was always really dirty. it just seems theres no suface tension to allow foam to build up, i know my waters dirty ( my algae makes that very clear! ) thanks for the input, ill give it a few days |

My skimmer will not allow the foam to climb properly if the chamber is not cleaned. You should fully clean the uptake chamber to allow for the foam to properly climb.

Have you changed the depth below the surface of the water that pump is at? super skimmers are finicky about water depth

yeah i should have mentioned, its to tall to fit under my stand in the sump.
so its hanging just outside the stand as a hob on my sump. the water level in the sump is about an inch lower then when it was on the display (when it was functioning properly) but i compensated for that and have it dialed in, it looks to be running the same way it was when it was working on the display, just minus the foam deffinatly give it a cleaning, cant hurt |

I don't think you realize just how finicky super skimmers are....an inch is a huge deal to them.....heck a 1/4 inch is a big deal to them.....I'd put money on it that if you cut the tube connecting the pump and inch shorter raisin it up tham "POOF" it starts skimming normal again
