protein skimmer help!

[notto2006]

I bought a new skimmer and I can not get it to work all it does is totally fill up with water i set it so that the water line was 3-4 inches below the collection cup and it just builds till it fills the cup completely with water. I am totally at a loss for what to do! Some help would be much appreciated!

Can you please provide some information about what brand and model it is, and how it's hooked up?

Skimmers also go through a break in period that last one to two weeks. What kind do you have.
