Skimmer help

[iGotJokess]

First time running the skimmer after about 2 months of tank running. The bubbles aren’t reaching the cup as of yet, is this normal? I bought the skimmer used so I’d like to think it went through the break in period, this is currently with the gate almost completely closed. Reef Octopus Classic 202-s. Attached short video

I am unable to view your attachment, but what is your water level for your slimmer?

Not sure if the video will post or not, I’ll attach a photo. Water height is at 7”

It did not work, usually you have to post it to YouTube first then send it that way. Hmm 7 inches seems good. Maybe try 8

Bumped it up to 7 1/2 and bubbles seem to be sitting right at, or just above bottom of cup line, but not internal cup line

Can you adjust the skimmer to skim more?
