Hi,
I took this picture of my protein skimmer.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do so the skimmer works properly. I think the pic shows that it isn't working, I have bubbles deep down inside the skimmer. If I adjust the water coming into the skimmer by turning the tube outside the skimmer (grey tube to the right of the skimmer), to boost the bubbles higher, the cup on top overflows. I don't know what to do to fix. I'm thinking there may be something that needs to be done with the level of water in the sump. The skimmer currently sits in about 9 inches of water. It's obvious that I don't know what I'm doing but I'd really appreciate some help.
