Skimmer not breaking in?

[Opticat]

I've had my skimmer running for about a month now and it has still not break in?. it does not produce the brown water with bubbles, only clear water with small gunks, and accumulates brown gunks on the lid of the collection cup. What i think the reason is not enough waste being produce, I only have 2 juvenile cf and a couple of snails on my 20 gal tank.

it's only going to produce if it has waste to export. Are you sure you have it tuned correctly?

Ah, I will be honest, it looks kinda junky and cheap so I would not expect miracles out of it
