Ok, I just bought a prism skimmer. I know everyone says that these aren't the greatest but I was able to get one for 70 bucks which is really cheap compared to all the other ones.
So now its all hooked up to the tank and running. The tank is brand new so should i only be getting pure white foam? Also how am I supposed to set the flow? Do I always want a bit of foam going into the collection cup? Or will the foam rise higher when it becomes dirtier?
Any help would be appreciated as this is my first time using a skimmer and I am kinda lost.
