I just purchased your Reef Octopus Hang On Skimmer (100-HOB). I've had it running for about a week and a half. The issue is that its not producing a frothy bubble that I have had on my other skimmers. I just creates very large "fizzy" bubbles that aren't creating any Skim Mate. Ive let it run for awhile to see if a break in would help but its just continuing to do the same. Any idea why this might be? Seems like perhaps there is an issue with the unit.
Thanks!

What size tank do you have? How old is the tank? It takes at least 3 weeks for the skimmer to break in.
