[redbud]

i need some advice
i have a pm/bullit 3 skimmer i put the water level at midway of bottom chamber and i get a nice froth but it does not make it halfway up the second chamber if i raise it by adjusting the air it turns in to big wet bubbles i have been running a gen pcx 40 on it so today i hooked it up tp mag 18 same result travis said to run the water up into second chamber then adjust the air i called pm they said i should run it 1 inch below second chamber and turn it to 5 o clock did that and i get the big wet bubbles has any body got one of these and is alright to run it into the second chamber did it for awhile today 3/4 the way up no leaks and had froth going over the cup.
any helpful input from anybody who has one or something like it

Is the skimmer broke in yet?could take about a week or so.
Wet froth is from running water level to high.I'd just let it run awhile at the right level and leave it be.It should produce skimmate with in a week,after water changes it will also take awhile to get skimming .
Good luck,
Shannon
