Hi everyone, can someone with DC skimmer experience help me.

I currently have power set to 50% and water level just 10cm below the neck line as per instructions.

Skimmer is the Ultra Reef Borie UKB-120 Protein Skimmer.

What's the issue?
 
What's the issue?
First time using a skimmer, i just followed what the instructions said and was wondering if i hit it on the nose, if not what should i change.

it seems to be collecting and the skimmer is a week old also
 
the image looks fine to me, dark skimmate overflowing into the collection cup and not overflowing with clear liquid. I'd say you're on the right track.
 
yeah that looks fine to me
