Hello I set up my new Reef Octopus classic 1000 HOB and it was foaming into the trap like crazy at first and has since slowed down and pretty much stopped foaming over into the trap all together for the most part. Am I doing something wrong? Photos below.

It will be a work in progress. You need to adjust the airflow to a point where your getting skimate, but not to much, and not to little.

It's a work in progress because your trying to find the right amount to run the skimmer to take care of your bio load... but not to much more, and not to much less.

If you do this for weeks and can't get it right.... Then slow down your feeding schedule and try again.
 
But initially your going to have to kind of watch it..
