Does anyone know why a skimmer requires a break-in period of 3 days - 1 week? I repeatedly hear this, but don't quite understand what exactly needs breaking in and why it doesn't just start to do the job immediately after hook up? The skimmer doesn't have many parts, and it's all just basically a bunch of plastic with a ph attached (or similar). How do the dynamics of the tank change after you have had the skimmer attached for a week that allows it to start functioning?
