hey i have a sea clone 100, and i have it setup so it sits on the outside, anyways the cup is not filling up hardly at all with foam, my tank has been setup for a while now, 6 or 7 months, but i just now added the protien skimmer, its been running for about 24 hours now, anyways wuts up with it?? what can i do to get it to work???
 
give it time. assuming it is well installed, give it time. sometimes more than a week....
 
it came with a regulator that controls how much air to suck in, i have it turned pretty low, its foaming up and everything, but not good enough to get into the cup....... so are u guys saying it can take a little while befor it starts to????
 
yes. it takes time to start working ok..
 
is it air stone driven?
