Finally...

I'm starting to get some "gunk" in my skimmer container at the top. Also the white foam looks to be getting a lot thicker. I take it, my skimmer could actually be starting to work and taking some of the bad stuff out?

Re: Finally...

Congrats! Skimmers are annoying at first, but once they break in and get working, they do a great job.
