    Default help with skimmer

    I have a hob red sea pro skimmer, I set it up around 11 today am. And all it does is make pumping noise and foam, but not in the collection cup, the water will not successfully suck in continuously, it just kind of pumps up and down, any help ? Please

    My skimmer takes some time before the bubbles move into the collection cup.
