at the bottom of collection cup. its just the small tiny bubbles theres no big ones that are breaking if that makes sense lolNot with that specific model, but where is the foam level in the skimmer? Ideally you want it foaming just below the bottom of the collection cup.
It does, yes. Most skimmers need a few days to break-in, and if you have an exceptionally clean tank you may not get as much skim as others. After a few days you'll get some buildup on the neck and then the skim will tend to bubble and "climb" up the neck.at the bottom of collection cup. its just the small tiny bubbles theres no big ones that are breaking if that makes sense lol

You can always adjust the level so that it bubbles higher, ie: partially up the neck of the collection cup.
