Can you provide a few pics of your skimmer?
Seams like we need to adjust the hight or flow to make the bubbles rise.
It's also possible that it is still breaking in.

It looks if you don't have enough bubbles going on in your reactor cup.
Still the bubbles I'll see is they ain't have protein in them yet.
How long is this tank setup?
Any registered Po4 and No3 Levels?

Tank has been setup over a year...all my levels are good and my collection cup is all the way down

 

[Diesel]

But you see enough air coming in right
Tiny small micro bubbles I the reactor cup right?

 

[Harleylay]

I think so

Skimmer needs time to break in.
Give it some time.

Hard to tell from the pic but I don't really see a lot of bubbles - is the air line free of water and not restricted in any way?
