Hey, I got my skimmer in 2 days ago I dropped it in without touching ANYTHING and it worked fine got skimmate within an hour or so... Now today the bubbles wont even go over the black part that the cup sits on, after this I started messing with the blue valve but nothing.. ... Is this normal or?

Let me know!

Thanks! John

I have a different skimmer but.... I think what you are experiencing is normal. Usually takes a while to dial in a skimmer.

Make adjustments slowly and keep in mind that just putting your hand in the tank or feeding can affect skimming, even stop it completely for a couple hours. I would not turn the screw more than 1/4 turn in a day, adjust, watch and wait, repeat.
