Now that I look at it I did it right. So it will take a couple days before it starts skimming? I have had it set up for 3 or 4 days. I just don't think I have it at the right level.
inside the skimmer body, it should instantly produce bubbles as soon as you power it on.take more pics. of pump in tank and if you can a not so close up of the body of the skimmer
