Re: protein skimmer
Is this a new skimmer? When I first got my skimmer, it took about two weeks for it to get broke in. I was like you, wondering if I had done something wrong. After about two weeks it started working just fine. Now if its an Octopus Extreme 350 Protein Skimmer, I would just sell it to me and be done with it.

Re: protein skimmer
Is it a new one? If it is, give it a week or two to get broke in, if not, then there might be another problem.
