HOB protien skimmer help?

[Frankie_Garcia]

Just bought a new protein skimmer and have everything set up correctly. It's not producing any skimate?

Skimmers take some time to break in before they start producing skimmate. What skimmer is it?

I got it off eBay but it had some good reviews from internet posts I found. It's a 300gph protien skimmer hangs on back.

Just give it time, skimmers can take a couple weeks to break in before they start producing good skimmate.

Should I leave my old protein skimmer in for time sake?

Running both should be fine until the second one breaks in.
