Collection cup still shouldn't have that much water in it. Mine usually takes a few days to a week before I have to empty it. Could just be the break in period still.

There’s no water in the collection cup; just a little foam.

I pulled the collection cup all the way up this morning and it started skimming. Then about 4 hours later it stopped skimming, so I lowered it and the bubbles started coming up and foam coming down. Thanks for the advice. I took out about 5 quarts of water so input could be slightly above water line.

Yup it will foam up and down as the foam head gets heavier with organics. Right on. Sounds like ir getting it.

The green tea skimate will collect in the collection cup over time. Not 1 day but say 3-8days depending on tanks size and bioload.
