I guys I'm new to this site. I have a 110 gallon saltwater aquarium. I bought a coral life 125 super skimmer. Has been running for 3 days. Can't get it to pull anything out. I will post a pic on how it's set up. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank u.

Hello and welcome to the site. I'm sure someone here can help you with your skimmer issue.

I hope so :). This is first skimmer iv ever owned. So not really sure if I have hooked up right

I don't own a skimmer yet, but I do know that some of them have like a breaking period before they start working properly, so maybe you did hook up it right.

By the way, Do you have two different species of clownfish in your tank? and Do you have a bicolor dottyback in it too? I have one of those. I also can see a yellow tang and the blue fish, is it a damsel?. You have some beautiful fish there.

Thank u very much :). Blue fish is damnsil. Yellow tang have fire fish 2 different clown fish, Groma, coral shrimp.

All skimmers have a break in period. You need to adjust the water level either in the skimmer or in the sump to where the bubbles are coming half way up the neck to the collection cup. Once the pump and skimmer are broke in, which could take a week or longer in some cases, you will need to readjust the water level for optimum skimming.
