My skimmate not reaching the cup?

Afger i floated a bag for the fish to acclimate my nyos skimmate wont reach the cup at all why?

Because you’ve added something to the tank that has disrupted foam production.

Stop stressing over every little thing. In time, it will get back to normal.

So i should just give it time or something im confused? Its still didnt go up

It should fine after a couple hours!!!

It’s normal
It will increase foam production in time .

you will notice and be able to learn in time how your skimmer reacts to different things added .

my external skimmer drops like this when I dose Alk , and when I feed pellets .

And how long it takes to get back up?

It all depends on many things .
how fast your system can clear up what’s causing the issue .

let it run , the skimmer could have settled a little from the initial break in and might need to be adjusted but for the time being , I’d leave it alone and not play with it too much

Foam production is dependent on a lot of chemistry and physics. Adding just about anything can cause the foam to collapse, especially in a new tank with low bio load. Over time, chemicals will get broken down, allowing the foam head to form once again.
