Hey Guys!
So I've had my skimmer running through break-in for a couple weeks now.
I've just introduced my first 2x fish 3 days ago.
Everything in the skimmer has still been clearish water (it looks like bubbles hit the top, form a bigger droplet, and drop into the collection cup)
Now I know these two little clowns most likely don't produce the MOST amount of proteins just yet, but I wanted to be sure the skimmer is working properly or if I should look into a new one?
I tested ammonia in the tank vs in the skimmer, and it was 0 in the tank, and 1ppm in the skimmer.
Does that mean it's working well, or perhaps it just collected water before it had a chance to be processed by the bacteria in my tank?
As mentioned, it's pretty clear in there.
Thanks!
