adjust the collection cup to its highest position and let the skimmer break in, this may take a few weeks. No need to worry about those micro bubbles

SOME SKIMMERS NEED TIME TO BREAK IN PIC 2 AND 3 DON'T LOOK BAD.

I was lucky my breakin period with the skimmer was very small, but I agree with what everyone else is saying. I have this in my 25 lagoon, what size tank do you have this in? Also where is the water line in the back chambers?

I have this in the innovative Marine Nuvo fusion 40
Water chamber height is correct I’ve read it should be half inch below last chamber

I raised it as suggested and seems to be properly breaking in thanks again !!!

Hopefully your motor holds up... I've been running mine for 41 days as of this afternoon and it stopped running this morning. Been working with IM on a warranty claim. They offered to replace it right away, but not exactly reaffirming in quality.

Sorry to hear that I hope it gets replaced quickly and lasts much longer

Are there different motors that will work on this skimmer from IM? I also already had to send one in after buying the skimmer used from them.
