Hey guys,

I recently got a used CPR Bak Pak 2 and I put it in the back part of my tank... the question I have is that when I place my collector cup 1/8th of an inch in the water level, I dont seem to build up enough foam to come all the way to the top of the tube that is in the collector cup. Currently, after running for 2 hours, the foam only managed to climb about an inch up the tube... which is about 2-3 inches away from the top of the tube. Is that normal? And if not, how do I adjust the skimmer so that the foam builds up into the cup?
 
If it's anew skimmer,it'll have to break in.But even on skimmers that have been running awhile,it can take a while for the foam to build up enough organic waste to push it on up into the cup.
So just set it and let it run for a while.
